This is the really historic tiara you might have missed at the State Banquet and I love it

While everyone was looking at the Princess of Wales in the Lover’s Knot Tiara and Queen Camilla in the Belgian Sapphire Tiara at the American State Banquet, the Duchess of Gloucester chose one of the most impressive royal tiaras for the evening.

The Duchess wore Queen Mary’s Honeysuckle Tiara for the US State Banquet at Windsor Castle. 

In 1914, Queen Mary commissioned this kokoshnik-style tiara from Garrard & Co who turned to E. Wolff and Co for the design. The diamond design features six honeysuckle motifs and a central element that can be worn with a diamond element, a kunzite element, or an emerald piece. 

Mary wore the tiara for several portraits and formal events before she gifted the tiara to her new daughter-in-law, Lady Alice Montagu Douglas Scott, when she married the Duke of Gloucester in 1935. 

Birgitte, the current Duchess of Gloucester, often wears the versatile tiara. At the State Banquet, she wore the Honeysuckle Tiara in its diamond setting, pairing perfectly with her ice blue gown. 

She did not stop with her tiara, though. She accessorised her look with a floral diamond pendant on a diamond collett necklace, a pair of pearl bracelets, and the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family Order of King Charles III.
