this privilege enjoyed by Sarah Ferguson which was denied to her

Even before marrying Prince William, Kate Middleton was careful to present the profile of the ideal wife. If she was quickly accepted by the royal family, Elizabeth II, grandmother of Prince William, had all the same made sure to make him pass a whole bunch of tests before giving his approval for his marriage with the eldest of Lady Diana and heir to the throne. Over the years, the two women have come to know, trust and like each other. Although modest when it comes to talking about her feelings, the Queen of England has several times praised the merits of the Duchess of Cambridge. It must be said that among all the members of the royal family, she is one of the only ones to show no shadow on the board. Despite their lovely relationship, Kate Middleton saw herself deprived of a sacred privilege by Elizabeth IIwhich Sarah Ferguson was able to enjoy during her wedding with Prince Andrew.

After Sarah Ferguson, another woman broke royal tradition

Indeed, when she married Prince Andrew on July 23, 1986, Sarah Ferguson was allowed to wear flowers as a tiara. Anxious to please her daughter-in-law at the time, Elizabeth II herself ordered this superb headdress known as the York Diamond Tiara. The ancestral tradition however wants a future wife to wear diamonds borrowed from the Queen in her hair. Kate Middleton or even Meghan Markle had not departed from this rule, by borrowing jewelry belonging to Elizabeth II. After Sarah Ferguson, only one woman had decided to break the tradition: Lady Diana.

For her marriage to Prince Charles, the Princess of Wales had chosen to pay homage to her parents by wearing a tiara belonging to the Spencers. If Kate Middleton did not have the chance to wear a crown of flowers on her head, she can boast of having inherited Lady Diana’s ring, one of the most imitated by jewelers today.
