Princess Diana will be inherited by Princess Charlotte, ignoring Princess Lilibet, as the daughter of Prince William has more opportunities as she is the older granddaughter.
This iconic piece is the Spencer family heirloom, a tiara that the late Princess of Wales wore to her wedding with the current King Charles III in 1981. Due to its historic and sentimental value, this piece of jewelry would be passed down to the next generation. .
It is also known that when Princess Charlotte grows up, she will have 'the pick of the palace jewels' where the most coveted is the Spencer Tiara, which is actually looked after by Princess Diana's brother, Earl Charles Spencer. A royal source told GoodToKnow about Prince William's relationship with his uncle.
Princess Charlotte is set to inherit one of Princess Diana's most iconic heirlooms - a tiara she wore on her wedding day to Charles over 40 years ago.
According to palace sources, as Charlotte is the eldest of Princess Diana's granddaughters she'll get first pick when it comes to which heirlooms she inherits, with Lilibet the second of her son's daughters. In 2021, an insider close to both the Cambridges and the Spencers revealed that when Charlotte comes of age, the eight-year-old will have "the pick of the palace jewels."
The most coveted item - the Spencer Tiara - is currently being looked after by Diana's younger brother, Earl Charles Spencer, who lives at the family's Althorp House. Speaking about the heirloom to GoodToKnow, the royal source claimed: "William is close with his uncle and has asked if his mother's namesake tiara can be given to Charlotte someday." They continued: "William is quite aware the Earl has daughters of his own, but the two have agreed that Diana's iconic piece belongs to her first granddaughter."
Meanwhile a second insider also told NewIdea that Charlotte was "giddy with excitement" over inheriting the heirloom. They said: "Lotte [sic] knows all about her 'Granny Diana' – after all, Diana is one of her middle names. She's also seen pictures of her wearing the tiara. Charlotte is more than aware that she's a princess, and she's already got plastic tiaras and gowns to play dress-ups in. It's very cute."
