Lincolnshire has a connection to the wedding tiara drama Harry mentions in his book
Meghan Markle’s wedding tiara has a Lincolnshire connection – and Prince Harry’s new book Spare shares details of how it ended up on her head for the historic day.
What followed was a back-and-forth between national media outlets and Harry & Meghan, who have regularly accused the press of orchestrating a witch-hunt against the couple, prompting a fiery interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 and the cutting of ties between major national newspapers and the Duke and Duchess.
After receiving an invitation from the late Queen Elizabeth II to access her tiara collection, Harry and Meghan opted for a diamond bandeau tiara that was gifted to Queen Mary for her marriage to Prince George, Duke of York in 1893.The detachable brooch on the tiara was given to the then-Princess by the County of Lincoln for her wedding day, and was kept until Queen Mary passed it down to her granddaughter Elizabeth in 1953.
Queen Elizabeth II’s confidante and dresser Angela Kelly regularly delayed organising the tiara’s delivery to Markle, after Her Majesty requested it be kept in a safe until the bride tried it on, according to Prince Harry.Harry recalls the “extraordinary morning” where he went into his grandmother’s private dressing room for the first time ever, with the late Queen guiding Meghan towards five tiaras that were placed in front of a full-length mirror.
