The late Queen Elizabeth II once held the tiara, and she wore it on official visits from China to the UK in 2015 and to Singapore in 1989.

The tiara, necklace, and earrings were given to then-Princess Elizabeth by King George in 1947 as a wedding gift.

Kate Middleton wore her go-to Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara for the state supper, although historically the Queen Consort has had a more daring sense of style.
