Prince Charles' first wife Princess Diana paired her Elizabeth and David Emanuel wedding dress with a family tiara, instead of borrowing one from the Queen – see why.

June 30, 2022 - 10:58 BST Nichola Murphy Princess Diana's royal wedding outfit is remembered as one of the most iconic bridal looks of all time, but there was one part of her ensemble that didn't follow royal tradition – her tiara.In 1981, Prince Charles' first wife walked down the aisle at St Paul's Cathedral wearing a stunning ivory silk taffeta gown with puffed shoulders, a fitted waist and a billowing skirt designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel.

Instead, the late Princess of Wales chose a piece from her own family's treasure trove – the century-old Spencer Tiara worn by her mother Frances and sisters Sarah and Jane on their own wedding days, which was likely picked for its sentimental meaning. It featured a central heart-shaped motif set with diamonds flanked by running scrolls, interspersed with star and trumpet-shaped flowers.

The Spencer Tiara, which reportedly gave Diana a headache on the day of her nuptials, according to her brother Charles Spencer, is now on display as part of the UK’s largest exhibition of tiaras in 20 years.
