The heads of modern queens and princesses, instead of crowns, are adorned with light and graceful, but, nevertheless, luxurious tiaras. How to become a princess? It's very simple! To do this, you must either be born into the royal family or …

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (UK)

This is exactly what Kate Middleton did - she married Prince William. The wedding ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.

The head of the happy bride was decorated with a diamond tiara "Nimbus" from Cartier, presented to Elizabeth II on her 18th birthday.

The second tiara in which Kate appeared was the Lotus Flower tiara adorned with pearls and diamonds.

Another favorite tiara of Kate, which was also very fond of William's mother Princess Diana:

As for Katherine's jewelry, I would like to note a magnificent rare necklace, which she received as a wedding gift from the King of India Nizam Hyderabad, a great connoisseur of jewelry and the richest man in the world.

In December 2011, Katherine appeared at one of the events, The Sun Military Awards, in a very beautiful silver necklace with rubies and diamonds, which attracted a lot of attention.

Letizia, Princess of Asturias (Spain)

Before meeting Prince Philip, Laetitia worked as a journalist, and they met during the filming of one of the reports. In May 2004, their wedding took place, after which Letizia became a princess.

10 years later, in 2014, King Juan Carlos I of Spain abdicated the throne. The baton was taken by his son, Prince Philip, who became King Philip VII, and Letizia from a princess turned into a queen of Spain.

But Laetitia showed a truly royal restraint, a smile did not leave her face.

The Queen can often be seen wearing a sumptuous heraldic tiara.

Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway

The choice of the bride by Crown Prince Haakon made a lot of noise in the kingdom. And the point here was not so much that a simple waitress became his chosen one, but in her very turbulent past. She had an illegitimate child and was addicted to drugs in her youth. But all attempts to dissuade the prince from marrying were useless. And only after his bride Mette-Marit publicly repented and assured that the past was over forever, the king and queen agreed to the wedding and even presented the bride with a diamond tiara for this ceremony.

Later, Mette-Marit was really able to restore her reputation. She turned out to be a very kind girl who really loves her family, respects and honors royal traditions. And all Norwegians love her very much too.

Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark

Mary met Frederick in the summer of 2000 in Sydney during the Olympic Games, then she was working as a real estate agent. At first, the girl did not even suspect that Fredy, as he introduced himself to her, was the crown prince of Denmark. But, in the end, the matter ended with a wedding, they got married in May 2004 in the Copenhagen Cathedral.

From the royal couple of Denmark, Mary received a diamond tiara as a gift, which, if desired, could be turned into a necklace.

The crown princess's favorite adornment is the tiara, which is included in the ruby pattern along with the necklace and earrings.

The princess has at her disposal another amazing tiara with diamonds and a moonstone. And although in fact the tiara is not the property of either Mary herself or the royal house, but belongs to the Danish jeweler Challotte Lynggaard, he handed it over to the crown princess at her full disposal.

Another set, consisting of a diamond tiara and earrings, made at the very beginning of the 20th century, was acquired by Mary at Sotheby's.

Marie, Princess of Denmark

Second wife of Prince Joachim of Denmark.

Another floral tiara especially for Princess Marie was made by a jeweler from Denmark. Three lilies on it symbolize the family - Marie, her husband Joachim and their son Henrik.

Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden

People's favorite, Princess Victoria, who is the heir to the throne, married her former coach Daniel Westling in 2010.

On the day of her wedding, she wore the same crown in which her mother, Queen Sylvia, married. And Victoria and Daniel had their wedding specially scheduled for the day that coincides with the wedding day of Victoria's parents.

Crown Princess Victoria is very fond of the "The Cut Steel Tiara" tiara.

For a long time this magnificent tiara was considered lost, but fortunately, Queen Sylvia found it. And now all the ladies of the royal family wear it in turn.

And some more gorgeous tiaras:

Madeleine, Princess of Sweden

The youngest daughter of the royal couple of Sweden. A very beautiful, educated and athletic girl. In 2013, Madeleine got married, and businessman Christopher O Neil became her chosen one.

During the wedding ceremony, she wore a crown on her head, which her father gave to her mother on their tenth wedding anniversary.
