- Who doesn’t love a tiara! I was quite shocked when I found out that I had the option to wear one at my wedding when I became a Viscountess. But more on the history of the tiara I wore later on in this vlog.

Our daughter mowed our lawn as a nine year old so she could earn enough money to buy a tiara. Once she bought it, she even wore it the next time she mowed! She was an adorable child!
I LOVE her style!😂💕
Awe, just goes to show every little girl is a princess in their right! 🥰😘
that is so adorable, Becky
Ah the mowing tiara.A rare beast indeed.🙃😉
Goals. She knew she was a Princess.
I love the fact that the family tiara has brooches and necklaces added on, it’s like a transformer tiara 😂
😆
🤣
My mother in law gave me a ring that has been in the family for a few generations. She knows that I don’t wear jewelry but tradition is tradition and I cherish it. You know what , I should wear that ring more often.
Rule #7 exception: For the 1967 State Opening of Parliament, 17 year old Princess Anne worn the Cartier Halo tiara.
I love your podcasts. I’m not your typical viewer of your channel, I’m a big guy disabled veteran than would have never thought of watching this kind of shows. But your shows are informative and shows us from American point of view. I hope you continue this channel for years to come.
Thank you so much!!
Please forgive me for being so forward but I might be in love with you from afar. Lol. The idea of a big burly man loving history enough to also listen to girly stuff is impressive! I too love English and Irish history especially. My ancestors were from both places and I love genealogy. You can’t or shouldn’t ever study genealogy without knowing and loving history!
Thank you for your service!!
That was very informative. Say Julie, perhaps ,especially an eye out I your Italy travels for some velvet yardage to redo the chair. You do have an eye for just the right thi gs at the right price.
Nice of ylou❤️
The family tiara is absolutely lovely. It was perfect with your wedding dress and actually fits your personality beautifully.
I love the flower motif in it... diamond leaves also and buds. When Julie said the tiara is composed of several elements, I was surprised but delighted that one could take pieces from it to wear individually. The tiara as a whole actually does look like a crown of flowers (meant to be made as one integral piece) ...similar to the roses I wove together for the crowning of Mary in May that Catholics celebrate. Julie absolutely looked like the Queen of May ...or even a Midsummer's Eve Fairy Queen for her wedding day. I think it (and Julie wearing it) is one of the most beautiful things I've seen. That diamonds could be made to look so 'organic' and made for Springtime celebrations and still sparkle like the sun is truly a rare feat. I wonder if the flowers are meant to be wild roses, apple blossoms, or even dogwood flowers ...that would be interesting to know.

Bring a former professional Ballerina, I have worn tiaras ( rhinestone ones) since my teens for solos. On my 21st birthday, I was given a vintage one from an estate sale. The tiara stones were zircons ( not cz zirconias!) & White topaz stones set in sterling silver. As, I became a principal soloist, I was allowed to wear it, & it became even more dear to me. Many decades later, retired from active dancing & as an Artistic Director of my own troupe, how precious it is to me & I do wear it on occasions!

How wonderful for you! Many stories linked that you can tell young dancers.
My favorite British royal tiara is the Queen Mary Lover's knot tiara (the diamond bows and the teardrop pearls) that Diana often wore.
that's the Cambridge Lover's knot right?
Yep!
@@OnLifeandLove No, it is not the Cambridge Lovers Knot, Queen Mary loved the original and had a copy made. The original is still around, but not with the BRF.
In 1913, Queen Mary decided to add a new tiara to her already-extensive collection of diadems. For inspiration, she turned to a tiara she’d long admired: the Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara, worn for years by her aunt, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Since Mary wasn’t able to inherit or buy the original tiara, she went for the next best thing: she commissioned Garrard to make a copy of it. The new lover’s knot tiara was created in 1913. Originally it was topped with a row of upright pearls, making it even taller and grander than the present version. The tiara arrived in the jewelry collection of the current Queen in 1953, when she inherited Queen Mary’s jewels after her death. Elizabeth II wore the tiara, sans upright pearls, for many years. In 1981, she chose this tiara to give to her new daughter-in-law, Diana Spencer.

As a commoner I knew almost none of these rules but the one that stuck with me was that once the tiara is loaned it’s for the entire life of that person! I never realized I never saw royals “mixing and matching” tiaras. Cool!
That rule is only for the British, Belgian and Danish royal families, in the Swedish, Spanish, Luxembourg, Norwegian or Dutch royal families you see them being worn by several members, with the bigger ones being worn only by the queen.
Selene Soto - I didn’t know of this rule either, and it’s a ‘loan’ for life and not a gift for keepsake.
I was the Vermont Maple Queen in 2001- I understand if you're envious. It was a very prestigious accomplishment within the Maple industry. The title came with a tiara and sash to wear during public appearances. Not everyone can look natural in a tiara, but it was exactly what was missing from my wardrobe. I now have a rather large tiara collection that I love dipping into as often as occasion permits.
I'd love to see a photo of Luke's mother at her wedding wearing the family tiara. Love your vlogs. From Iowa with 💖.
Julie, you make all of us Americans proud. I do love the Royals and their history, as you seem to. It's nice to hear someone that talks so highly of them and not bash them. Thank you for your channel.
My favorite tiara is from the Danish Royal Family, the Danish Ruby Tiara. My favorite British tiara is Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara that Princess Eugenie wore for her wedding.
As a mere male, I found this interesting. Many of the rules are really traditions, and, as you pointed out with Margaret, they do get broken.
An example is the tiara worn by Anne at her wedding, which had also been worn by her grandmother and others. In different circumstances, a bride was expected to wear her family tiara on the day, hence several brides will wear the same one, such as at Anne's first wedding. After the wedding she would then wear her husband's family tiara. As many of the brides marrying into the Royal Family are not aristocratic, they do not have family tiaras, so this is why the Queen loans them one.
Another major event when tiaras will be seen is the State Opening of Parliament.
Some commentators have not apparently understood that Julie married into the British aristocracy, and she is talking about the British Royal Family, so rules, or lack thereof, amongst European royal are totally irrelevant. I'm also unhappy to see that some people find it necessary to be rude to Julie in their comments. May I politely suggest that if you do not like this channel, then slip away quietly, those of us who are subscribed will happily cope without you and your aggression.
Never knew anything about the "ten rules of wearing a Tiera". I wore one at my wedding with my Veils! But I got married at noon. So that would be a no ,no Right away! But a little safe *almost*. Well I do not need to worry buI am notb a Royal LOL LEARNED SO MUCH Butnyet my husband's family on his moms side are related to the royals and it is a straight line since King Henry the 3rd.! I tease my husband and often say " You would have put me in the dungeon by now had your family gone in another direction and stayed in Britain. " We have been marriedbalmostb54byrs. I am still kicking! Think.he.msy keep me? His mom and I got along famou,famous, and his dad as well
They have passed now. I absolutly love your vlogs and it means so much to be able to watch. I will pass my wedding Tiera and veil. To a future grand dsughter. Or daughter in law as we have two sons and no daughters. This helped even an American to take these ten rules in order to help the next one in our family to do this properly when getting married and being crowned with the tiera,of mine. The commoner really. as some one moved to AMERICA and ruined the generational line you might say. Thank you for sharing what a wonderful and very exciting journey you have been and are on!
I agree with you 1 million percent. Stop being rude to Julie. Just leave the channel. As an American also from the Chicago area I find her comments very interesting and since I majored in Early Modern British History I find her research to be thorough impeccable.
Well said!
Well said!!
And Diana wore the Spencer family tiara. at her wedding. Not sure if other female Spencers have worn it since?
"How Consuelo VANDERBILT, the American Heiress, SAVED Blenheim Palace" This was one of my favorite videos that you presented, WELL DONE!! I Loved it!!
Very interesting to know! The Montagu tiara that you got to wear upon your marriage to Luke was exquisite!! So very delicate and looked stunning with the dress you wore. Loved getting to see the throw back pictures of you & Luke on your wedding day.
My favorite is of course the hereditary Montegue family Tiara! Its gorgeous!What a wonderful surprise to give you on your Wedding day! The Tiara went perfectly with your gown, you looked stunning!
Thank you so much!!
It is gorgeous and I do like it better than the all the other tiaras except one--the Russian tiara that Meghan lusted for. It's just exquisite. The Queen is supposed to have an aquamarine tiara that I also love the picture of.
Yes you’re quite right ❤️
Julie, I love that your mother in law offered the family tiara to you, and I love that you agreed to wear it. You obviously loved the tiara itself as well as the feeling that you were being welcomed and accepted into the family. But it's also a lovely gift that you gave to your new family in accepting the wearing of their family heirloom. What a wonderful story.
My absolute favorite tiara of the Queen's is the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. Its shape with all those extraordinary diamonds is, to me, a classic style of tiara for a princess and queen.
I love watching you because you’re so “plain folks ” and not acting like you are so privileged or above others, but down to earth and highlighting your responsibility to maintain the family land and legacy!
I love the way they rub along together. Love is wonderful, but it's friendship that sees a marriage through the long haul...and you are so gosh-darned cute together.
She is plain folks. There is exactly zero special about people with titles. If anything, they are worth less than ordinary people because ordinary people actually earn what they have.
@@pjaypender1009and these two don't work hard to maintain a vast estate? And do good by employing many people that have families? You see it every time you watch these channels that they don't sit around throwing parties. There are many ordinary people as you say the just sit on their behinds and do nothing to better themselves or bless another person by employing them. They would rather be on the dole. I find the term worth less than ordinary people so insulting. I would say these two are extraordinary.
@@gailpeczkis5292 Eat the rich.
She is American that is why she is "down to earth" and relatable.
Sorry, I got this flash of a silly image….Lisa Douglas wearing all her diamond jewelry with a maribu feather embellished peignoir while doing her housework on “Green Acres.” Thank you for such a lovely look into your experiences. Your husband acquired a rare gem when you joined his family!
And then dropping the dishes in the dishwasher to smash into pieces! Dahlink!
😂😂😂😂
You are so sweet and such a genuine person. I always love watching your videos- they are so informative and you have such a great point of view. Very relatable for Americans that aren’t as familiar with all of the traditions.
A few years before COVID, I went to the Cartier jewellery exhibit they had here in Australia. They had the Queen's Cartier Halo tiara (the one worn by Catherine Middleton at her wedding) as part of that exhibit. It is beautiful.
My then teenaged daughter and I went to see it as well: we are both jewelry mad. And we saw the wedding tiara was there but what we found really wonderful was the articulated pieces a former Mexican movie star once owned.
I wore a tiara when I turn 15. When you turn 15 there is a celebration in the Hispanic culture which is called a Quintaniata. My tiara was made out of glass and only to be worn during church services. This has been very educational. 😄
😁
where in brazil we have os quinzes anos
Quintaniata? Not having ever herd this word before, I searched for its meaning, but Dr Google doesn’t know the existence of this word either. Did you mean ‘Quinceañera’.
@@claritadeluna6609 🤣😉
We call this a quinceañera where I’m from which is rich in Mexican culture and tradition. I am Hispanic but I didn’t have one, sadly.…I’ve never heard the terminology you used but maybe it’s called different things in different places?
First rule: It's usually on your wedding day, right. But there are exceptions when you are of royal blood. You are allowed to wear a tiara in that case from your 18th birthday onwards given the occasion! Best example: The recent 18th birthday celebrations of the Norwegian Princess Ingrid Alexandra. She (and other European fellow princesses like Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, or Catharina Amalia, The Princess of Orange) was wearing a tiara for that event. The reason why we have not seen Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York in a tiara before their respective weddings was simply lack of occasion.
Yes I agree and I think Princess Anne also wore a tiara from 18.
I was going to comment something like this. It's probably slightly different rules for different royal families. I love that we got to see all three of the princesses make their tiara debut together. Even little Estelle from Sweden got to sort of participate with her adorable headband!
Yes! The Queen's own sister, Princess Margaret, wore the Poltimore tiara before she was even engaged. She wore it to a state dinner with the Shah of Iran in May 1959. Maybe it was because she bought the tiara herself!
Both Princess Margaret and Princess Anne wore the halo tiara before they were married. In fact, Margaret wore it at the Queen's coronation.
We are talking about the British royal family not european, they will have different rules or lack of
Rule #1 didn't apply to many royal ladies. In 1837 Victoria became Queen Regnant and was wearing tiaras before her 1840 marriage. Princess Elizabeth (later QEII) and' princesses from Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark were given 18th birthday tiaras long before they were wed. Princesses Anne and Margaret owned and wore tiara before their marriages. Current heiresses to the Belgian & Dutch thrones are unmarried young ladies who wore tiaras to the Jordan's recent royal wedding.
I think the 18th birthday is pretty big, actually. Saw an article about a young man who had a ball for his 18th birthday and all the girls were wearing these dainty tiaras. It was all very cute, and none of those girls was married, so not a hard and fast rule.
I have seen pics of Princess Margaret and Princess Anne wearing tiaras before they were married, after they had turned 18.
I just noticed. I like the fact that you don't feel the need to wear makeup all of the time. Natural is also beautiful.
Wearing another vintage dress - love seeing Julie in them!
This was such an interesting video! I can't even imagine finding out on my wedding day that there was a family tiara dripping in diamonds for me to wear - for the rest of my life! 😮
Hats before 5pm, Tiara's after 5pm. Unless u are at an evening event or afternoon wedding that has an evening meal. An example of this is The Earl and Countess of Wessex attended a European Royal wedding that started at 3pm, all ladies were in Tiaras and evening wear
I have always been fascinated by the idea of tiaras. My friend, whose mother is Swedish aristocracy, wore one at her wedding, and her sister did, as well. Just borrowed, I assume, but the ‘princess for a day’ on your wedding day, and the beautiful gems just add to the most special effect.
Your Family tiara is stunning. It suits you perfectly----hope you have occasion to wear it many times in the years to come!! ENJOY IT!!
Thank you so much!
History of jewelry is exceedingly important to her majesty. Every time she makes an official visit or has an official reception for foreign dignitaries she always wears jewelry specific for the occasion. When the king of Spain visited she wore pieces with Spanish history, gifts, I think from a prior Spanish monarch. She has a huge collection of important brooches and each one has a story and she ALWAYS chooses one appropriate to the occasion. When she visits Scotland she wears brooches specifically related to Scottish history. When she inspects a particular military unit she wears a brooch related to the history of that unit. When she attends a wedding of a close family member she wears a brooch related to that family member's title or related to the person they are marrying. I believe she wore a brooch related to the country of birth of one new member of the family upon their wedding. If someone gives her a brooch then she visits them she almost always wears that brooch. Sometimes on state visits she will wear jewelry in colors matching the national colors of that country. With such a huge collection she has almost any piece she would need to honor a specific person, nation or group. Nothing, when it comes to royal jewelry, is ever random or chosen simply to match an outfit.
So interesting. I love the British tradition of honoring the past while embracing the future that adds to the appeal
And we in Canada appreciate it when Her Majesty (and Diana and Catherine) have come to visit, they always wear her large diamond maple leaf brooch. So beautiful.
@@maryokeefe5351 I didn't know the Duchess wore that brooch when she visited Canada. How appropriate. I think it is akin to when you visit a relative you've not seen in a while and you see prominently displayed in their home a gift you gave them that you put a lot of effort into seeking out and choosing for them. It makes one feel appreciated all the more. I am sure that is why they do such things.
I love tiaras... It's the little girl in me ❤️
Julie is always a delight! Very personable, very entertaining! Loved hearing the history of tiaras and especially seeing Julie wearing her tiara at her wedding! Loved the photos of Julie and Luke !
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw an interview with Queen Silvia of Sweden where she talked about how painful the 9 Prong Diamond tiara was when she first wore it. It is a bit tall and has an inflexible base and the hairdresser put lots and lots of hairpins in it and Silvia said it was like all of them sticking into her at once. Later, she had the base altered to better fit her head and distribute the weight more evenly. Queen Silvia can wear even the largest tiaras with great aplomb.
The Montagu family tiara, just like the Spencer family tiara that Diana wore at her wedding, are kept in the family to be worn by all female members at different occasions like weddings. So Luke's sister and sister(s) in law probably all wore it. Fergie, Kate and Meghan didn't have any family tiaras, so they borrowed from the Queen. Anybody with the money can go buy a tiara and wear it any time they like, of course.
Princess Margaret's estate auctioned off her wedding tiara, as her kids didn't feel the need for it anymore and reportedly had to pay a lot of estate taxes and educations for grandkids. When I saw it at the pre-auction display, it was the only piece of jewelry they wouldn't bring out of the case to let you handle it or try on because they said it was very fragile. It had been bought for Margaret in 1959, even though she could have borrowed a family tiara, from the Poltimore family for £5500. It sold in 2006 for £926,400.
Princess Margatet bought the Politimore Tiara herself at auction, it wasn't bought for her.
Whether she bought it for herself with her family money (since she didn't have a job), or her family bought it for her, which is uncertain, it was bought for her personal use. I mentioned it this way to emphasize that it was new to the family, not a tiara that had been bought or made for anybody else in the family and passed down to her.
@@CallieMasters5000 it isn't uncertain in any way shape or form she bought it herself from the auction with her own money. That's why her kids had no problem selling it as it was not a gift or a family heirloom
The "loaning" of tiara, jewelry, works of art to successive members of the family keeps the wealth in the family...but the family retains ownership. When Diana and Charles divorced her loaned tiaras, jewelry, art works, etc were returned to the monarchy. When she died the Spencer tiara was returned to Earl Spencer. Charles kept her personal jewelry for William and Harry's wives...allowing the boys to choose one piece each as a memento. Catherine has some of the iconic pieces, the sapphires, pearl drop earrings and diamond bracelets, she will pass them to George's wife.
Fergie did not borrow a Tiara from the Queen, The Queen had The York Tiara made for her. No idea why neither of her daughters borrowed it for their weddings.
I wore my mother’s wedding day tiara when I got married, hopefully, my daughter will wear it one day. Such an interesting video, thank you!
Oh Tiaras, I wore them twice in my life! They were diamonds of paste naturally. Once during my dance recital when I was 6. The next time I wore it was Halloween when I was 7. Same costume same Tiara 👸 😂😂
Don't let HM find out.
Sarah Ferguson was unique in that she wore a floral halo during her wedding procession at Westminster abbey in 1986 and after signing the registry in the vestibule, she emerged with Prince Andrew wearing the York Diamond Tiara during the wedding recessional.
Yes, I noticed that and wondered why. Does anyone know the reason for it? I loved it.
@@vickidickinson2888 I read that she did it to symbolize going into the wedding day as a commoner and emerging as a royal.
I think the tiara you were given to wear is the most beautiful that I have seen. I also like the Cambridge tiara that Kate now uses. Hello from Bartlett,IL, really enjoy your channel!
in the UK 18 is the age of majority. the day you legally become an adult. legal for signing forms, voting, legal for drinking, but driving is 17. age of majority used to be 21 but changed in 1969. i love the Cambridge lovers knot. its abs beautiful. I wore a tiara when I was married but alas not a diamond one!
That was an amazing lesson in Tiara etiquette. Thanks for the education!
Your dresses are always so beautiful😊
Thank you!
I am just so sorry we don’t see tiaras at grand receptions and dinners, state affairs - we just don’t see these grand tiaras anymore. I remember Diana on so many tours turned out in the most beautiful gowns and tiaras everywhere around the world she went. No more. No more ground state dinners. What a boring time we live in. The wokeries would absolutely not stand for any tiaras. We are absolute hostages to the times thank you for this reminder of beautiful times gone by.
Though many appear(comments) not to revere tradition and historical protocols - I like them and the meaning of keeping them - something this channel helps with, so thank you!
First time I wore a tiara was at my wedding . It was at my wedding and it's a family heirloom. It's pearl and swarovski crystal. It's very delicate. My sister wore it too. Broke a rule . But it was gorgeous on her too.
Really, how cool so interesting, if u don't mind me asking (just say no) were u born an heiress or married into nobility, can u tell I'm frm US 😆i just love all this history and what an honor 👸🏻
I'm American but from a very very very old Irish Family. Tittle included. Traditions, exc, doesn't mean anything to people out side the family here but we still keep some of the old traditions. Like the tiara! It's fun. 😀 mom is the Air apairent. ( Or how ever you spell it! ) her family is in the top 10 oldest Clans (families) and we're direct line. From Ireland So we're green Irish meaning they go back to the Neolithic times! We have fun with it! Lol. Thanks for asking! In Ireland I'd be considered one of the nobility. Have the title Lady. My folks would be Barron and Baroness. Henry the 8th and Elizabeth the 1st knighted my ancestors and bestowed land or gave them land in Ireland. Exc. It goes on but that's how it started. Coarse like many Irish we ended up here.
@@kathyk479 thanx Kathy how interesting so much Irish Royalty i lovit Kathy, im (South) Boston born & raised i totally appreciate, love our Irish heritage, so cool, wonderful history thanx for sharing & replying that was sweet 🍀♥️
So excited the Cambridges coming to Boston, i live 5 minutes away JFK Library & Seaport District so I'm hoping to get a glimpse, been bribing my son a BPD Detective Sargeant to help me get into (hopefully) one event, he'll b working EarthShot, connections sometimes work but security will b tight🤷🏼♀️
Maybe my Irish luck will be with me on this one Kathy 🍀🤞🏻😘
It is fun and I get it from both sides ! 3 sides if you count the bad knees! Lolol. I have fun with it! I told my cousin my knees were giving me trouble! She said oh that because of the in breeding! Lolol. Great I said! Don't share the wealth give future generations grief! They just were n't thinking of us! Hahaha!
I hope you get to see them! I really adored his mother and was devastated when she passed . She was the Princess of the world and deserved a good life! Have a great time I'll say a prayer that it works out! Are you on Face book
The colour and style of your hair was gorgeous on your wedding day. You looked beautiful.
I have been following you for several months. I learn so much every time I watch. Your family tiara is stunning. Your commitment to restoring your home is heartwarming. I know it has been a ton of work and so costly too. It is important to preserve these historic homes. Perhaps one day I can hope over the great pond and do a tour of the many historical homes you have shared. Hats off to you and Luke! Jane Wyen, Rio Vista, California
Thank you so much!
Julie, You are Sweetness and Grace, personified !!! I see such kindness and love in both you and Luke's eyes. You give American's a good look. It's so obvious why Luke fell in love with you. Many blessing's to you and your family. From Calabasas California @@AmericanViscountess
Stunning. 👑 Seeing the royal jewels in person takes one's breath away. Thanks for sharing history, protocol, and your personal experience.
I have a beautiful coffe table book on Tiaras … I wish they wore tiara’s more often, so many beautiful ones that Prince Albert had made for Queen Victoria.
Can you also talk a bit about your children? That would be interesting too for us. We are very interested in everything, thats going on!
Great informative video. Thank you
So if there was a formal event where all the women wear tiaras that was attended by both Julie and her mother in law, wouldn't the Countess wear the family tiara and Julie would have to wear something else? I doubt this happens very often.
If I had a tiara like that, I don’t care what the rules are. I would wear that thing!
Sarah Ferguson when she married Prince Andrew , had flowers as her headpiece , and after signing the register appeared back out in the church now as a royal with a Tiara upon her head .
I don't care how regal Sarah Ferguson is - pedophiles are disgusting.
I love all the history that I am learning from your program. Keep up all of your wonderful, hard work. Thank you so much
I was curious about why the Duchess of Cambridge only wore a few tiaras, but not so curious as to look it up lol. So thanks for the info!
I know that each royal house has their own rules for a reason, but I like the more lenient rules of the Swedish Royal family in this case where the ladies can borrow more of the tiaras from the royal family to go with their outfits.
I have never worn a tiara, but one o my favorites is Princess Sofia of Sweden's Palmette Tiara. I love that her in-laws gifted her this for her wedding. I also adore that in the subsequent years she has adapted it and added different stones at the top for different occasions.
Absolutely love your tiara, Julie, and the fascinating history and rules pertaining to tiara's in general. There's always so much to learn and enjoy in all of your video's. Thank you for the time, and hard work that goes into making them; greatly appreciated by all of us.
Thank you for this extremely informative video, Julie; I have really learned something today, such as all of the 10 rules! ❤
It is so lovely to hear you speak on these important interesting subjects
Thank you! I enjoyed watching your FIL on a vintage issue of To Tell the Truth. So wonderful to see how you have embraced the history of your family and share it with all of us.
Julie,you look splendid on your wedding day in the family tiara!! I have always been curious about the "How to's" of wearing tiaras. I love your sharing your research on tiaras for us! I learned a lot! Love from Vermont
The art direction and styling of this video is really nice, including the wardrobe choice more flattering and contemporary-looks great!
The lighting and production values on this video are especially lovely - well done!
Your amazing Julie. Thank you for sharing 👑. Y'alls wedding is beautiful.
While I'm definitely not royal, I have worn a tiara for my wedding. It's a special day when you can wear anything you want, so why not be a princess in your own love story....lol Thanks for all the history in this video. I really enjoyed it.
Tiaras are more accessible than people think. Real diamond tiara’s sell for as little as several hundred dollars. I will definitely be wearing one on my wedding day

There are exceptions to every rule. HRH The Princess Anne, currently better known as HRH The Princess Royal was only 17 and single when she wore her first tiara to the 1967 State Opening of Parliament. Which tiara did she wear? The Cartier Halo Tiara which was clearly not loaned to Princess Anne on a lifetime loan as we saw HRH The Duchess of Cambridge wear it to her own wedding in April 2011.
An exception as the occasion required it.
I'm glad you brought up princess Anne because I remember seeing her wear it too.
Enjoyed this so much! I knew of a couple of tiara rules but had no idea there were so many. What a lovely surprise on your wedding to have the opportunity to wear that beautiful tiara! It's my fav!
Your post is the highlight of that day. Thank you.
I love your channel! You’re so warm and welcoming, it’s like chatting with a friend over lunch. I also enjoy history, and you present history just as fascinating as History Hit! Thank you!
Oh thank you!
When I was kid, mother had a "tiara".It was a circular metal band that could change diameter by pushing and pulling it. It had "diamonds" at the points along the zigzagging points. It was probably from my mom's hairdressing shop. My sister and I would play with it all the time. I think we wanted to be regal.
You truly love to share your life with the world. I get joy watching you tell us about your life in England and Italy,
It’s so so pretty. How exciting that you have had this experience.
My faves are: the Stuart tiara, Greville tiara & queen Maxima big diamond & sapphire tiara
Thanks for another wonderful video, Julie! I really appreciated the information about the Montague family tiara, which is not only stunning, but versatile. I love tiaras that "transform" into other pieces of jewelry. A lot of the aristocratic families are very smart with their jewels that way. (The two side bouquets on the Montague tiara would look AMAZING as dress clips on either side of a slinky, 1930's décolletage!) My tiara heroine is Queen Mary, who really surpassed anyone else in the versatility of her jewels (not to mention the quantity).
Thank you!!! And loved reading what you wrote 🥰
Thank you for sharing. This is so interesting and facilitating on the reasons to when you can wear a Tierra and when not to. This is so cool!
The best American with a title!. You are so genuine. Humble and not pretentious. Love watching your channel and learning history.
A wonderful episode! Thank you for sharing this list of ten, and your stunning tiara’s story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely beautiful! It is lovely seeing a detailed video about this custom from someone inside the establishment.
Thank you so much!
I stumbled upon your channel bc I wanted to learn about buying a house in Italy. You’re such a good hostess of your adopted continent. So much fun to learn and understand all the topics you cover. Thank you!
What an excellent commentary 💝 I don’t think I could pick just one Tiara. They are all so beautiful ✨
Loved this episode, yours and Alberta’s story are so fascinating to me!
You looked stunning on your wedding day, and with the family tiara…💕
THE DOUBLE CHAISE SOFA AND OTTOMAN- so damn gorgeous.
This was a very interesting subject Julie and thank you for sharing the knowledge you have about the subject of Tiaras. I have enjoyed this very much and have learned so much more. Have a lovely day. By the way you looked beautiful on your wedding day marrying your Viscount.
Hi from New Zealand! Thanks so much for making these videos. They are very enjoyable and informative. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them, Delwyn
I teared up thinking of the emotion you talked about putting on the tiara. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Very interesting Julie! I think my favorite tiara is yours! I love the floral clusters and it is stunning in your wedding pictures!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant. Thanks . I really enjoyed this information.
love your content and your energy. I so appreciate you sharing all your adventures. As a Brit now living in Canada, I really enjoy all the English content :)
Really loved this story! Luke had such a cute baby face and you looked like a movie star at your wedding! My sister and I wore my mom's rhinestone tiara when we dressed up to play princess! 😄
G'day Julie, thank you for the Tiara explanation, I always thought that if you were born a royal princess that they got to wear a tiara picked out by the Queen for their first official engagement when they had become of age unless that's only for a special circumstance perhaps? I'm just going by what my mum told me while growing up in an aristocratic family.
Oh and btw, you absolutely looked divine and stunning wearing your family Tiara on your wedding day darling! 😍
Thank you so much for sharing! I enjoyed this immensely and really appreciate learning new things, especially Royal. 👍😊🇨🇦
Fascinating. So glad to watch this!
Love the content , love the green shoes
The Family tiara really does suit you and you do wear it well and thank you for taking the time to inform us the traditions of wearing one.
I won't wear one seeing I am a mere male yet one of my nicknames is 'princess'!!
Julie, you kept interchanging loan and lend, they are not interchangeable as they are different parts of speech. Loan is a noun and the object being borrowed is the loan. Lend is a verd and the interaction / process of borrowing is lending. Hence the tiara, money, book, etc is a loan, it or they have not been "loaned" but they have been lent and the process of borrowing is lending, the receiver is the lendee and the giver in the lender. Having said that, loan as a verb has become popular in informal English in parts of the world.
Thank you so much, from California, for your great videos! As a (very distant) cousin, the Spencer tiara that Princess Diana wore on her wedding day will always be my favorite! I absolutely love the way you go over British history from the perspective of an American! ❤
Yes my folks had found vintage tiaras from rich estate sales and had given them to me as a young adult. I donated them at some point because my hair is baby fine and it was never comfy wearing them. 😇
I'm pretty sure Anne, the Princess Royal, wore tiaras way before she got married to her first husband. Especially for state dinners and when she'd accompany her mother for state visits.
And the name says it all.: Princess Royal. She is entitled by birth. Frankly, I think QEII got more strict as time went on about a lot of things.
aww your wedding photos are so beautiful ! 😍
Thank you so much for the history of the Tiara. I had no idea that they were only used for certain occasions. I also loved the furniture as well. I love the Victorian culture I always have. I am from Edmonton, Alberta Canada
