When Princess Beatrice married her fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private ceremony Friday morning in Windsor, it was the most intimate royal wedding in recent history. But a small guest list said a source close to the couple. Country Country that less than 20 people were invitedIt does not mean that the bride skimped on glamor. After all, she is a princess and as such wore a stunning diamond tiara with a rich royal story while saying “Yes, I do.”
This morning, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Beatrice complemented her vintage wedding dress with the Queen Mary Diamond Fringe tiara. As with other recent royal brides, such as Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Princess Eugenie, Queen Elizabeth loaned Beatrice the glittering headpiece, but this particular accessory is of particular importance to the British monarch; The Queen wore the tiara on her own wedding day to Prince Philip in 1947, and her loan to Beatrice is a true symbol of their relationship.
Like many iconic pieces in the royal jewelery collection, the tiara originally belonged to Queen Elizabeth’s grandmother, Queen Mary. It was created in 1919 by British jewelers Garrard and Co., who wore a diamond necklace that Queen Victoria gave Mary on her wedding day in 1893 to create the marginal design.
The piece was also worn by the Queen’s mother, Queen Elizabeth, and then Princess Elizabeth chose it for her wedding as “something borrowed.” But when the future monarch was preparing for his wedding, the diamond tiara was broken.
Fortunately, the crisis was averted and the court jeweler was able to repair it. “Determined to wear this tiara on her special day, the princess’s tiara was immediately brought by a police escort to Garrard’s workshop, where she was hastily repaired and returned just in time for the ceremony,” recounted the House of Garrard. on their website. . The piece was also later used for Princess Anne’s wedding to Mark Phillips in 1973, and luckily it still seems to be getting stronger.
Beatrice’s choice of tiara and vintage Norman Hartnell gown, which was also loaned by the Queen, makes it clear that making her grandmother part of the marriage ceremony was important to York’s older sister. The wedding was even “planned according to the Queen’s schedule,” a source said.
Since the tiara is such an impressive piece, Beatrice kept her other jewelry to a minimum on her wedding day, wearing only her engagement ring and her new gold band, designed by Shaun Leane. But unlike her sister Princess Eugenie, who was also married in Windsor in 2018, though at a much larger event, Beatrice opted for a veil, kept by the embellishment.
