One user wrote on X: “I always marvel at how the Tiaras stay fixed on the royal ladies’ heads, especially when it is a bigger piece like the one Catherine wore tonight. I love that we get a good look at how Catherine used her hair in a knot to secure the stunning heirloom on her head”
A second one said: “A tiara truly fit for a future Queen.”
Another one said: “Stunning. Jaw-dropping.”
A fourth one commented: “The hair look so flowy I was wondering how does it not slide down and then you see the neat trick in the back.”
A fifth one said: “For the big ones they tend to weave the hair on the velvet ring to properly secure the tiara.”
The Oriental Circlet Tiara is also known as the Indian Tiara. It was a favourite of the Queen Mother.
The large but delicate-looking piece features diamond lotus flowers and arches, and wraps itself nearly all the way around the wearer’s head.
Albert had it made as an opal tiara for Victoria in 1853 and it was said to have been inspired by a tiara made for the monarch by the East India Company in 1851 to commemorate the end of the Great Exhibition in 1851.
But Queen Alexandra later replaced the opals, which were thought unlucky, with rubies.
