The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara

𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇𝓈:
♕ Her Majesty Queen Mary (1892 - 1947): Wedding Gift from Lady Eva Greville
♕ Queen Elizabeth II (1947 - Present): Wedding Gift from Her Majesty Queen Mary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:
Designed in 1893 by The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara Committee led by Lady Eva Greville
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:
The Tiara features Festoon & Fleur-De-Lis designs with Diamonds set in Silver and Gold. The Original Design was topped with 14 pearls. Inside the custom mahogany box provided by the jeweler, a second frame was also supplied, which allowed the tiara to be worn as a coronet. Even better, it could also be taken off a frame entirely and worn as a necklace. In 1912, Mary had the Tiara re-designed. She had the pearls removed from the top of the tiara, replacing them with 13 diamond brilliants. The pearls were incorporated into her new Lover's Knot Tiara. The base of the tiara was also removed around this time so that it could be worn separately as a bandeau. In 1960, the Bandeau of the Tiara was placed back onto the tiara, which gave it more height.

The Delhi Durbar Tiara
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇𝓈/𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝑒𝓇𝓈:
♕ Her Majesty Queen Mary (1910 - 1946): The tiara was designed for Her Majesty Queen Mary as a fitting celebration of His Majesty King George V new status as King and Emperor.
♕ Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1946 - 2002): The Queen was loaned the tiara from Her Majesty Queen Mary. The only time the Delhi Durbar Tiara was seen with the Queen was during her South Africa tour in 1947. It remained in her possession until her death.
♕ Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (2002 - 2005): The tiara was passed down to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II when her mother Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother passed away in 2002, along with the rest of the Queen Mother’s jewels.
♕ Her Royal Highness Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall (2005): The Duchess was loaned the tiara from her mother-in-law Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for the Norwegian State Visit & also her first tiara appearance as a member of the British Royal Family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:
The Delhi Durbar Tiara was designed as a fitting celebration of His Majesty King George V new status as King and Emperor. The tiara was designed for Her Majesty Queen Mary in 1911 by Garrad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:
The Delhi Durbar Tiara was designed with remains of another tiara & some other smaller jewels - a tradition of Queen Mary when creating tiaras. The remains used were from a diadem tiara made for Queen Mary by Boucheron in 1901 after a visit to South Africa, when she had been given a present that consisted of diamonds from the De Beers Mine. The new Delhi Tiara was set in both platinum & gold but also had diamonds that formed lyres & s-scrolls that would overlap diamond festoons. The tiara is a complete circle that wraps around the head. The Delhi Durbar Tiara was originally set with 10 Cabochon Emerald Drops that are located on top of the tiara. These emeralds are a part of the famous Cambridge Emeralds set that once belonged to the grandmother of Queen Mary. Mary had acquire the emeralds after they were left to her late brother Prince Francis of Teck’s mistress Ellen (neé Constance) Needham. After Mary acquired the emeralds, they were used to create the tiara but were removed from the tiara in 1922. The emeralds were not sat aside though! The emeralds were used for the dangling emerald drops in the The Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara or they are used for uprights on The Kent Diamond and Pearl Fringe Tiara left to The Duchess of Kent. The Cullinan III & IV Stones were used as temporary centerpieces of the tiara. The 94.4 carat pear-shaped Cullinan III stone was an upright in the top center & the 63.6 carat Cullinan IV stone was placed in the front center. The tiara could have the 2 stones that could be worn or could be worn with 1 stone. There is another centerpiece for the tiara, as no one has used the Cullinan stones since Queen Mary. This tiara went under minor changes before Queen Mary loaned the tiara to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. While the tiara has not made an appearance after 60 years in the vault, it made a new appearance with Her Royal Highness Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall for the Norwegian State Visit. This tiara has always seemed in medium size when past queens have worn it, but it’s actually very large in size. The tiara has a layered effect that is created by the festoons on top of the scrolls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝑅𝑜𝓎𝒶𝓁 𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓈
♕ 1911: Her Majesty Queen Mary’s official portrait for the Coronation of her husband His Majesty King George V. 2 Portraits of the Queen have been done wearing the tiara in 2 different styles: one portrait has the tiara with emeralds & the second portrait has the Cullinan Stones.
♕ 1947: South Africa Tour worn by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
♕ 2005: Norwegian State Visit worn by Her Royal Highness Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝐹𝓊𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉𝓈:
♕ In 1910, it was decided that the Crown Jewels were not allowed to leave the United Kingdom.
♕ Even though she had paid for her own hew crown his coronation, the Tiara was designed for Her Majesty Queen Mary. This meant that this tiara was not a part of the Crown Jewels.
♕ Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II allowed The Delhi Durbar Tiara to be exhibited. After 60 years in the vault, the tiara would make a new appearance on a new member of the the royal family.
♕ When The Duchess of Cornwall was seen wearing the tiara in 2005, it caused quite a problem with the public. 3 Queen’s have been possession of this crown & now a duchess marrying a prince (who is the heir to the throne) for both their 2nd marriages? The public did not agree & did not like the way the tiara look as people believed it had been altered. The tiara was not altered at all & is still a circlet style tiara.

Fashion Rules of The Women of The British Royal Family
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝐵𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒞𝑜𝓁𝑜𝓇𝓈
We all love how beautiful & bright Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II looks! The Queen’s bright rainbow are actually for a safety reason. With being the Queen, she needs to be able to stand out in the crowd incase something bad does happen. Her bright colors also lightened up the mood/day with anyone she meets or for anyone who sees her.

The wearing of hats is a royal etiquette rules, that dates all the way back to the 1950′s. Though during the 1950′s, women did begin to stop wearing hats when being out in the public area.
𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has kept the tradition of the Wearing of Hats alive. At Formal Engagements such as Weddings, Christenings, The Trooping of Color, & other engagements, women must wear a hat or a fascinator. Though when 6 P.M rolls around, all hats are traded in for Tiaras.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝒯𝒾𝒶𝓇𝒶𝓈
𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎
To wear a Tiara for a Formal Night Event (or Wedding), a women (either marrying in or is getting married to an outside) must married. A women wearing a tiara, signifies their relationship status & let’s other men know they are married. A Tiara is a sign of love & the loss of innocence to marriage. A Family Tiara (Example: Diana’s Lover’s Knot Tiara when by Kate) means that the women is now wearing the groom’s jewelry, as a married women is expected to do & means that she has left her family, & has joined a new one. Diana The Princess of Wales, was the last royal bridge to stick to wearing family jewelry, as she had worn her family tiara (The Spencer Tiara) for her wedding to His Royal Highness Prince Charles The Prince of Wales in 1981.
𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒
A Tiara can now be worn before 6 P.M, because a tiara is considered formal attire. This rules has now been changed for the Royal Weddings, which a bride can wear a tiara during the day for her wedding. A tiara is worn at night for formal occasions like Black Tie Receptions, State Dinners, Holiday Dinners, etc. For example, when Megan the Duchess of Sussex attended a Black Tie Reception in Fiji, she could have worn a tiara but did not wear one for the formal event.
When placing a tiara on a women’s head, follow these instructions:
♕ Place the Thumb on the Middle of the Chin & the Index Finger in the Gap between the Eyebrows
♕ Move the Fingers up until the Thumb ends up where the Index Finger was
♕ This is where the Tiara must sit on top of the Women’s Head.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, has to be protected at all times. The Wearing of Gloves, like her colorful wardrobe is another safety precaution. When the Queen attends engagements of her own, she has to shake hands with the people she meets. The Queen wears her gloves to prevent germs! The gloves are made by the royal glove maker, the color of the gloves are either black or white (depending on the outfit), & the gloves are either of cotton or nylon material.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒜 𝐵𝓁𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝒪𝓊𝓉𝒻𝒾𝓉
𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎
When traveling, both royal men & women are required to carry a black outfit in case of an emergency. This is in the rare case that a family member has died, when they arrived back to England from wherever they have traveled, they are dressed in appropriate fashion. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II learned this lesson the hard way. In 1952, when Her Majesty’s father His Majesty George VI The King passed away. Her Majesty & His Royal Highness The Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, were in Kenya when the sad news was delivered to then young Princess Elizabeth. The Queen sadly did not have a black outfit with her, so she was forced to stay seated on the plane until an employee could deliver a black outfit for her to wear.
𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒
When traveling, both royal men & women are required to carry a black outfit in case of an emergency. It is rare to see women wear black, when she is traveling outside of the country. Black is mostly worn on Remembrance Day (A day of remembering those who died in battle). We have seen the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Beatrice of York, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank, & the Duchess of Sussex, have broken out & have worn black outfits to formal & non-formal engagements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝒞𝑜𝒶𝓉𝓈
The British Royal Family is always about the women staying in a modest fashion. When a women wears a coat, it must stay on. A lady taking off a coat in a public view, is an unladylike action that she must not break. For Example, if Kate is wearing a coat in the picture below, she must keep it on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝑀𝒶𝓃𝒾𝒸𝓊𝓇𝑒
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s favorite nail polish cost only $9?! Yes, the Queen’s favorite nail polish is called Ballet Slippers by Essie & is of a nude color. Royal Women must only wear either a pale pink polish or a clear polish, to keep her nails looking beautiful. The Duchess of Cambridge has broken this rule before but used her toes! The Duchess was seen with a red polish on her toes!

𝒞𝓁𝓊𝓉𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈 & 𝐻𝒶𝓃𝒹𝒷𝒶𝑔𝓈
A girl always has a good clutch, handbag, or purse on her to keep her necessities like keys, glasses, & makeup in right? Not for the women (especially The Queen) of The British Royal Family.
𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒
Women of the Royal Family, will carry a handbag with her when she does not want to shake hands with whoever she is meeting. The public is not allowed to touch any member of the Royal Family, unless that member makes a move to show they want to hug or shake hands. The handbag is a signal that the women is too occupied to shake hands or hug. Handbags are traditionally carried in the left hand.
𝒮𝒾𝑔𝓃𝒶𝓁𝓈
The Queen will carry a handbag with her wherever she goes but this is for a reason. She uses to quietly send signals to the staff around her. When The Queen wants to leave dinner, she sets her bag on top of the table, letting not only staff but other eaters know that dinner will be over in 5 minutes. When The Queen is in the middle of a boring conversation, she will place her bag on the floor, letting her lady-in-waiting know that she would like to move on.
𝒰𝒽-𝒪𝒽!
When Diana was a member of the royal family, she used her clutch as a slip-up bag. This means, that whenever she would step-up out of cars, that the clutch would be used to shield any view the public could get of her cleavage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒽𝑜𝑒 𝐵𝒶𝓃
As you see in most every picture, of the shoes the women of the British Royal Family, most shoes are heels! The one heel that is not necessarily banned, but one the Queen herself is not a fan of is Wedged Heels. We have seen The Duchess of Cambridge, where them just a few times with some of her more casual attire.
𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝐻𝑒𝑒𝓁𝓈
If a women wears heels to an engagement or official event, there are rules when it comes to picking the right pair of shoes to wear. The Rule for Heels is that the heels must be six inches or under, so that the women is not wobbling around when walking & that the women must not appear too tall for people to notice.

When wearing a dress, it’s common for a women’s legs to be showing. For the British Royal Women, showing leg is okay but it needs to be in a modest fashion. When showing legs in a dress or skirt, women are expected to wear pantyhose or tights for all public outings.
This rule has only been broken twice by the Duchess of Sussex, when she did not wear pantyhose during her November Engagement photos & when she attended Hamilton in London with her husband. She quickly has switched her style to wearing from skipping the tights to making sure she wears them.

Everyone remembers the famous Marilyn Monroe picture with the white dress floating up around her. Well that is why this specific rule is enforced for all dresses of the women of the British Royal Family.
𝒟𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝐻𝒶𝒸𝓀
For the dresses of the the women of the Royal Family, dresses have been hacked! With each dress, little weights are sewn into the hemlines of the dress. This helps prevents skirts from flying up when a really heavy breeze decides to blow around.
𝒟𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈 & 𝒮𝓀𝒾𝓇𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒𝓈
Besides having the weights sewn into the hemlines of dresses & skirts, the length of a dress or skirt should always be appropriate. The length of a dress or a skirt, should always be around knee length, which is always 3 or 4 inches above the knee. Besides the length, dresses must not be sleeveless.

As tradition, we all see the women of the Royal Family wearing dresses for every engagement & event they attend. Some of the women though, have begun to not only wear dresses & skirts, but have begun to incorporate Jeans, Business Pants, & for some engagements Sports Pants. Queen Elizabeth doesn’t prefer pants so she sticks with dresses & skirts. Jeans are only allowed at the most casual events though like if the women will be outside all day.

The British Royal Family & other royal families around the world are known for their state tours to other countries. When traveling to other countries, women will show respect to that country but not only doing engagements, but by wearing fashion created by designers from that country. Whether it’s a brooch, a full outfit, just accessories, colors, for following the fashion rules of that country (Recent Example: head scarf wore in Pakistan), it’s a respectful gesture.

For engagements & events, Women of the Royal Family typically have the same fashion: blazers, cardigans, trousers, & dresses/skirts. Denim is typically not seen in Royal Fashion (Mentioned Above in Modernized Fashion) of the women. Denim is typically worn only for private life like being at home or being out in public without the press knowing. Again, The Duchess of Sussex has broken out of the fashion protocol but not only wearing jeans like other royal women, but including denim tops with her jeans in a double denim fashion.

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether it’s a wedding, a christening, an engagement, or an official event, so their fashion style will be talked about. The women will always want to look put together with whatever they wear, so fabrics of outfits must be chosen carefully. When styling an outfit, women will typically wear a fabric that does wrinkle & crease easily like Linen & Silk. Heavier fabrics like tweed & wool are typically chosen to wear because they are more durable.

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether it’s a wedding, a christening, an engagement, or an official event, so their hygiene & appearance will be talked about. The hair & makeup of the British Royal women, should always look effortless, natural, & near. Royals will never have loud hair colors or shocking updos. In The Duchess of Cambridge, we are always see a change in hairstyle but it’s always looking neat, whether it’s a Parted Blow Out, Big Curls, An Updo like a Ponytail or Bun, Half Up Half Down, or Bangs.
The Rule of Makeup should always be neat & natural. The example of neat makeup is the Duchess of Cambridge. With the Duchess always has a darker eye but the rest of the face is kept nude & natural.

Fur has always been a huge controversy in fashion whether the women was a famous actress, a common every day girl out in public, or a duchess in the royal family. During the 14th century, King Edward III of England declared that no one could wear fur. The Royal Family today, has not worn a ton of fur following that law. It has though soon up on the occasional coat or hat on a few of the women of the British Royal Family.
