Speculation swirls over whether Harriet will borrow one of Princess Anne’s pieces. Anne’s collection includes the Festoon Diamond Tiara (a 1973 gift she has often worn), the Meander Tiara (passed down from Prince Philip’s family and loaned to Zara in 2011) and the Pineflower Aquamarine Tiara (given to Anne in 1973 and frequently worn at state events). Alternatively, Harriet might skip a tiara altogether, following Queen Camilla’s example of choosing a different headpiece at her own second wedding.
The ceremony is expected to include Princess Anne, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, Zara and Mike Tindall, King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Edward and Sophie. Prince Harry was reportedly not invited after losing touch with Peter, and Peter’s friends also opted not to invite former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to avoid distractions amid ongoing controversies.
