Everyone loves a royal wedding. An occasion to see pure opulence in terms of venue, dresses, and jewelry. The royal tiaras are included in this jewelry. They are exquisite masterpieces owned by the British royal family as part of the Crown Jewels. 

Married women in the royal family often wear them on formal occasions and on their wedding day, and people enjoy speculating about which tiara a bride-to-be will select. In addition to being beautiful pieces of artwork, many of these tiaras have fascinating histories. Here we look at five of the best:

On her wedding day in 1981, Princess Diana opted to wear a family heirloom tiara as opposed to one gifted to her by the Queen. The tiara she wore was a gift from Lady Sarah Spencer to Cynthia Spencer on her wedding day in 1919, reports Town & Country.

According to the Express, Diana was loaned the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara for her big day, but ultimately decided against wearing it. Deborah Papas told the Express that Diana "reported it to give her headaches as it is very heavy."

This interesting piece was originally owned by the Queen's grandmother, Queen Mary. It had dropped out of sight until Meghan Markle recently wore it on her wedding day. The tiara was made in 1932 but holds a brooch which dates back to 1893.

According to Kensington Palace, the tiara was designed specifically to accommodate the brooch, which was gifted to Queen Mary by the County of Lincoln in 1893, when she was to wed Prince George.

According to Town & Country, this stunning tiara was originally owned by Dame Margaret Helen Greville, a British socialite and philanthropsit. When she died she bequeathed the tiara to The Queen mother. It was made in 1919 by Boucheron and the central emerald is reported to be 93.70 carats. Most recently, Princess Eugenie borrowed the tiara from the Queen for her wedding day in 2018.

This tiara is best recognized as the one worn by Kate Middleton on her wedding day in 2011. The Royal Collection Trust states that the tiara features "739 brilliants and 149 baton diamonds." It was created in 1936 by Cartier and was a gift to the Queen Mother by her husband prior to their wedding. The Queen Mother gave this precious tiara to Elizabeth on her 18th birthday, reports Tatler.

This extravagant crown was designed in 1821 for King George IV's coronation. It features an impressive 1,333 diamonds. The diadem has since been worn numerous times by the Queen, including on her coronation in 1953. According to the Royal Collection Trust, she now chooses it as her royal accessory of choice when traveling to and from the State Opening of Parliament.
