The Greek Meander Tiara originally belonged to Prince Philip’s mother, Princess Alice or Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark. For yet another wedding gift, she gave her daughter-in-law, Princess Elizabeth. Whilst in her possession, Elizabeth has never worn the tiara, (I agree, it would have looked bizarre on her). Fortunately, the tiara didn’t go to waste in the vaults, and The Queen then passed it onto her daughter, Princess Anne.
In stark contrast to her mother, The Princess Royal has worn this tiara on many occasions, and suits her well! It’s modern, bold yet subtle and very unusual, in a good way. Most notably, Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Philips wore the Greek Meander Tiara for her wedding to Mike Tindall in 2011.
The tiara is purely made up of diamonds. The central feature is a wreath which encompasses a brilliant cut diamond. Two honeysuckle decorations also adorn both sides of the wreath, surrounded by the fabulous ‘key’ design. All in all a great, modern tiara with a nod to the Greek background of the Queen’s descendants.
