Exclusive: The lavish £9.5m jewellery collection Princess Charlotte will inherit from Princess Kate…..See More

The Princess of Wales’ daughter will dip into the royal jewellery box when she is older

On Christmas Day 2024, Princess Charlotte caught the attention of royal fans by wearing a sweet necklace and a set of friendship bracelets. However, the pieces of children’s jewellery that the nine-year-old daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales has so far been spotted wearing are just the tip of the iceberg compared to the collection she is set to inherit.

Princess Kate, 43, possesses one of the most impressive collections of glittering jewels of all of the British royal style set. From pieces she has been gifted by her husband Prince William and sets she has inherited from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, to the tiaras she has borrowed from the royal collection, Kate has turned heads with her countless glittering jewels since her royal wedding in 2011.

Though the palace hasn’t explicitly disclosed which pieces Charlotte will wear when she is older or inherit when the time comes, it is expected by royal fans that she will have the opportunity to delve into her mother’s jewellery box when she is of age.

Charlotte’s paternal aunt Princess Anne wore her first tiara aged 17, so it won’t be long before Prince George’s younger sister is eligible for a glittering diadem.

HELLO! got the lowdown on some of the most lavish pieces that Charlotte will likely inherit from a selection of industry-leading jewellery experts, as royal fans wait in anticipation of the young royal’s tiara debut.

The Spencer Tiara
The glistening tiara that the late Princess of Wales wore on her wedding day to King Charles III in 1981 has featured in the jewellery collection of the Spencer family for decades. Kate and her sister-in-law Meghan Markle both wore royal tiaras instead on their wedding days, as the piece remains in the Spencer family collection. But as the granddaughter of Princess Diana, fans look forward to seeing if Charlotte will one day wear it.

Jewellery designer Jessica Flinn tells us that the piece is estimated to be worth between £400,000 to £500,000 due to its “delicate yet striking design” crafted from silver and white diamonds. “It strikes a perfect balance between the extravagance we expect from royal jewellery and the gentle femininity we have come to associate with Princess Diana,” she says.

The Cambridge Lovers Knot Tiara
Both Princess Kate and Princess Diana have worn the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara. It was commissioned in 1818 by Queen Mary and was crafted by renowned British jewellers, Garrard, as a replica of a piece owned by Princess Augusta of Hesse-Kassel.

“The design consists of diamond-encrusted lover’s knot motifs, symbolising love and unity,” Nilesh Rakholia of Abelini tells us. “Crafted from diamonds and pearls and set in platinum, the tiara features 19 baroque pearl drops, each suspended from an arch of brilliant-cut diamonds.”
