Jess Collett who designed and made the headpiece Kate wore to the Coronation says publicly that it was a tiara. Why does this matter? It was widely reported before the Coronation that all the women apart from Camilla, were banned from wearing a tiara. I read so many internet fights/discussions about whether Kates headpiece was a tiara. It clearly was.

People magazine. K lol
It wasn’t made of metal, so imo it was more of a headband and not really a tiara. Just my american totally ignorant to real Royal rules and regulations two cents.
I read people at the time saying that to count as a tiara it has to be made of metal. But the qualified milliner who designed and made it says it was a tiara. I would have thought she was more qualified than any if us to say whether it was a tiara.
I have seen people snark at it, saying it looked cheap. I disagree, I thought it looked lovely.
> It clearly was.
Because People magazine said so? It wasn’t, certainly not in the sense of a jewel-encrusted diadem kept in a vault.
Must be a slow news day
I mean yeah it was obviously a headpiece meant to mimic a tiara. But like the tiara “ban” wasn’t to punish all non-Camillas. It was because the dress code was not white tie formal wear and also like it would obviously divide attendees into those who do have fancy jewels like tiaras and those who do not. It wasn’t a slight against all non-Camilla women. So like feels like absolutely not a big deal that Kate wore a headpiece intended to resemble a tiara.
Personally I wish they would wear more jewels to public occasions.
