The Fife tiara at Kensington Palace 

Only 2 tiaras even come remotely close to it are Princess Dianas and Fergies! as rivals, but handsdown THIS is a winner!

I agree, it’s stunning.

I totally agree. It is breathtaking.

Agree. Superb.

Yes it certainly is. It's delicacy is what makes it magnificent & beautiful. It's now my favourite, but a close second is Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara.

This is the ONE of Tiaras so dassling with the brilliants moving in the air. 💖😇🍃

I would model it ngl-

It’s not owned by the current royal family, as in The Queen, Prince Charles, etc. It’s owned by the Duke & Duchess of Fife. It’s on loan to Kensington Palace, along with, I believe, two other tiaras. The current Duke of Fife is the Queens second cousin once removed and lives in Scotland.

Same here, just what I was thinking. 🙂👍 (Seeing one of the current owners family wear it would be fine!).

@@elizza716 I believe it is actually owned by the government now. When the last Duke of Fife passed away it was given as payment for inheritance tax. The UK government allows it to be on display.

@@whitneydouglas4794 Exactly. It was accepted in lieu of inheritance tax.

You have to be an idiot to think that!

@@mdillon4311 only an idiot would think anyone who acknowledges the beauty of that tiara is an idiot.

@@marcelszpak1460 it's gorgeous

In your lame opinion, MAYBE! @@tracy406

when one cant distinguish fine craftmanship from garbage I PITY THEM!

Agreed! ❤

Me three!! 😍

Sadly she cant. Its dosent belong to the royal family.

Could it be loaned to her?

@@Dem0nD0ll i dont think so.

@@Dramatis_personae09 how so?

@@arianal.merchan9869 It was owned by the Duke of Fife, not the Queen, so she can't loan it to anyone, it isn't hers. I believe it is now owned by the UK government, when the last Duke of Fife died it was given to the state to cover inheritance tax. The government has allowed it to be shown the QV display at Kensington Palace.

@Denelle Ergh Now the tiara belongs to the UK government, given from the Carnegie family after the death of the 3rd. Duke of Fife to cover inheritance taxes. It won't be worn by anyone, it'll be seen in exhibition only.

Absolutely! I knew most ladies with a sense of taste would agree on it!

It is a tiara, not a crown!

I think it has the edge on the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland"tiara. because of the spectacular size of the diamonds, and the way they are hung. Both tiaras, and the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara have suspended jewels..... but only with THIS tiara are they cut jewels, so the sparkle must be superb!. There is nothing like a well-cut diamond! There is some footage of the Queen Mother, Charles, Diana and Anne attending a film preview of a Bond film..... can't think which, but it is Roger Moore. The Queen Mother is wearing that Greville tiara, which in still photos looks rather clunky. HOWEVER, as she moves, picking up the lights, in a dark interior...... it fairly BLAZES with light. I think that it is the precise modern cutting of those rather large diamonds that makes it so spectacular. Then....... let me weep! In 2018, before Christmas, thieves broke into a small museum display and stole the Portland Tiara. Cartiers had made several tiaras for the coronation of Edward VII, including the Manchester Tiara. In terms of DESIGN, I consider the Portland Tiara to be one of the most exquisite ever made, reflecting the Neo-Classical style of the Edwardian period, with the finest possibl craftsmanship. There were a number of quite large diamonds in it. I would presume that the diamonds were quickly ripped out and sold, reducing the tiara itself to no more than a little piece of crumpled gold and silver wire. The police arrested four people, but they have not disclosed whether the tiara is intact, or who might have it, if it is. I suspect tha idiots were after the stones, and saw no value in the object.

That kind of craftsmanship is not dying. As a matter of fact, it has become even better since computers have been added as a design aid.

I AGREE. IT SHOULD GO TO DUCHESS CATHERINE. THEN PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

It would look beautiful on any womans head tiaras should not just be for so called royals diamond's were created by nature not just for royals

The Fife took it over the top with sparkle and no one has made one like it since. The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland I don't ever want to see another woman wear. I is just too much her Majesty. It wouldn't look right.

It was given to the british people in lieu of taxes and is a museum piece now. It will never be worn again.

I actually think it would be beautiful on Meghan

Tracy the museum could sell it just like any other piece. Never say never

@@LaDivinaLover depends on the agreements signed.

@@sasharigby4891 With her latest surprise sprung upon the UK. I don't think she deserves any more Royal Privileges . She wants to be free to do as she wants . She should not have married into the UK royal Family . Or not accept a title . Like the British husband of Princess Madeleine of Sweden . He has remained Mr Christopher O'Neil. And continues his work as a Finance Adviser. A far more Nobel decision If a person wants to keep their Identity.

What about Queen Alexandra's Russian fringe tiara?

Except that it now believes to the government and will never be worn again. It was accepted in lieu of inheritance tax from the Fife family.

The Queen already has nearly 30. It's probably enough.

@Mireille B VAVAL It never belonged to the Crown, it belonged to the Carniege (Fife) family until the death of the 3rd. Duke of Fife to cover inheritance taxes. It won't be worn by anyone, it'll be seen in exhibition only.

@Lisa Anderson It's a tiara, not a crown.
