Maxwell continued: “While Princess Lilibet shares the same lineage, her ties to the royal institution are more distant. Raised outside traditional royal circles, her path is less entwined with royal custom, which may make access to the tiara less straightforward.”

Its last known appearance was in 2018, when it was worn by Diana’s niece, Celia McCorquodale, on her wedding day.

Princess Diana notably wore the tiara on her wedding day to the then Prince Charles, which completed her stunning David and Elizabeth Emanuel gown.

The jewellery expert explained that the dazzling jewel belonged to Princess Diana’s father, John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer, and was a “cherished aristocratic family heirloom that dates back to the 18th century.”

The tiara was gifted to Diana’s grandmother, Countess Cynthia Spencer, in 1919, and has been passed down through every generation since.

Diana adored the headpiece and wore it on repeat throughout her lifetime.

Maxwell shared that it is “intricately crafted” and features “diamond-encrusted motifs of tulips, scrolls, and stars. Like many historic royal  tiaras, it was assembled from various older pieces of jewellery, adding to its uniqueness and charm.”

He added that, while no official valuation exists, he would “estimate the Spencer Tiara to be worth around £400,000. With its exquisite detail, fine diamonds, and deep sentimental value, it’s undoubtedly one of the most treasured heirlooms in British aristocracy.”
