While some view this as a modernization of royal customs, it has not been without criticism.

Princess Catherine and Duchess Sophie are reportedly struggling with this transition, particularly as they navigate a period of change following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

Although Princess Catherine was named the principal beneficiary of the late Queen’s personal jewelry collection in her will, her authority over tiara selection appears limited, as Camilla, as Queen Consort, now has the final say.

In this context, Camilla’s decisions regarding tiara selection are seen by some as an attempt to assert her control over royal traditions and reshape her legacy, particularly in relation to Diana’s lasting impact.

One example of this shift in the tiara landscape is Camilla’s recent decision to wear the Aquamarine Ribbon Tiara, previously associated with Duchess Sophie. This has been viewed by some as an assertion of her authority and a further complication in the ongoing tensions between the royal women.

As the royal family prepares for a series of major tiara events in the coming months, including state visits from Belgium, Portugal, and the Netherlands, the tension between Camilla, Catherine, and Sophie is expected to play out publicly. These occasions will serve as a test of the royal family’s ability to balance tradition and change as they navigate this new chapter in their history.

As we continue to watch this evolving story, it will be fascinating to see how the royal family navigates the complexities of tradition, legacy, and personal relationships.
