Prince George’s HEART TOUCHING HIDDEN Gesture To Mother Catherine Amid Chaos Will Melt Your Heart
It is the first picture Kensington Palace has released of Catherine since her surgery and the Princess of Wales thanked the public for their support while she continues to recuperate. And it appears that the young royals are following in their mother’s stylish footsteps as they were immaculately clad in colourful winter clothing. Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis both wore knitwear from Parisian brand Cyrillus – Charlotte teaming her raspberry wool cardigan with a tartan skirt from Amaia.
Despite being third in line to the throne, Princess Charlotte has not yet had the privilege of wearing a tiara.
Princess Charlotte may have to wait a while before she gets to wear a tiara, but it is likely to come before her wedding day due to her place in the direct line of succession to the British throne.
Royal women are generally not seen wearing a tiara until the day they get married, as was the case for Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice for their weddings in 2018 and 2020 respectively.
However Charlotte is more likely to follow in the footsteps of her great-aunt Princess Anne and great-great-grandmother Princess Margaret, who were both permitted to don the headpiece for royal and state events as young women.
Royal historian Marlene Koenig explained to Town & Country: “There’s no rule book. Princess Anne certainly wore a tiara as a teenager; she wore a tiara for her 21st birthday picture, all before she got married.”
The difference between Anne and the York sisters is that the Princess Royal is a working member of the Royal Family, whereas Beatrice and Eugenie are not.
This could be the reason why she was permitted to wear a tiara at certain occasions, and as Charlotte is likely to be a working royal the same rules may well apply to her.
Lauren Kiehna, who runs the blog The Court Jeweller under the pen name Ella Kay, clarified: “Both Princess Margaret and Princess Anne wore tiaras in an official capacity as working royals, attending events like the State Opening of Parliament, state banquets, and royal functions abroad.

“Because Beatrice and Eugenie are not working members of the family, they do not attend these events.”
An exact age for when Charlotte could wear a tiara is hard to predict, however it may be as soon as her late teenage years, with Anne first seen in a tiara at the tender age of 17.
It is possible that a formal celebration may also be held for her 18th or 21st birthdays, with these events also possibly being accompanied by a formal portrait of Charlotte in a tiara.
Ms Kiehna added: “Because the Royal Family is becoming increasingly small, Charlotte will likely begin representing her grandfather and father at royal events, including state banquets, when she’s a young woman.”

A career as a working royal is no certainty for the eight-year-old Princess, as her parents Prince William and Princess Kate have made it clear they want their family to have as normal a life as possible.
She may chose to go to university as they did, meaning her tiara-wearing days and royal duties may have to wait until after her graduation.
Charlotte is currently third in line to the throne after her father William and her older brother Prince George, however if George has a family she will fall further down the list, as per the clear rules surrounding the line of succession.
Royal enthusiasts around the world are eagerly anticipating the moment when Princess Charlotte will make her first tiara appearance. In this video, we’ll explore the historical traditions of royal women wearing tiaras and discuss potential scenarios for when Princess Charlotte might have her own tiara moment.
As the world waits for Princess Charlotte’s first tiara moment, we delve into the intriguing world of royal traditions.
Many royal women, including Princess Charlotte’s mother, Kate Middleton, have worn tiaras on their wedding days. Kate famously borrowed the Cartier Halo Tiara from the late Queen Elizabeth for her wedding.
Even blood members of the royal family, such as Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, and Zara Tindall, saved their sparkling tiaras for their wedding days.
Princess Anne and Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth’s sister, both wore tiaras ahead of their weddings. They were working members of the royal family, and this distinction likely allowed them to wear tiaras to gala events before their weddings.
Given Princess Charlotte’s lineage as the granddaughter of King Charles, the daughter of heir Prince William, and sister of future monarch Prince George, she is highly likely to be a working member of the royal family. Therefore, her tiara debut might occur at an official event, much like her mother, Kate Middleton.
Kate Middleton has worn tiaras on 14 occasions since her wedding day, primarily the Lover’s Knot tiara or the Lotus Flower tiara, except for her wedding day when she wore the Cartier Halo Tiara.
While Princess Charlotte hasn’t worn a tiara yet, she did wear a special headpiece at the Coronation of her grandfather, King Charles. The headpiece coordinated with her mother’s and featured silver bullion, crystal, and silver thread work three-dimensional leaf embroidery.
The anticipation for Princess Charlotte’s tiara debut continues to build. When and where this moment will occur remains a mystery, but one thing is certain: as a future working member of the royal family, her tiara moments will be moments to remember.
