It is a tradition that the women in the Royal Family wear a tiara on their wedding day. Indeed, only married women are allowed to wear tiaras. In the last ten years, we have seen numerous Royal weddings, meaning some beautiful tiaras. But did you know that it wasn't Kate Middleton or Meghan Markle who wore the most expensive tiara, but Princess Eugenie?

Princess Eugenie wore a tiara worth £10 million

Princess Eugenie got married on October 12, 2018, to Jack Brooksbank. The Princess of York decided to wear the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara, which is worth £10 million. This move surprised many as she didn’t choose her mother’s tiara.
