Who will inherit Queen Elizabeth’s most famous tiaras
Words: Nicole Lampert | Producer: Issey Gogoll Animation: Helen Simmons
The late Queen Elizabeth had one of the largest and most expensive private collections of jewels in the world, and at the heart of it are about 50 stunning tiaras.
What will happen to these tiaras, and which royals will inherit them, depends on which jewellery collection they come from, the New York Post reports.
Some of the pieces, her crowns and brooches, as well as ceremonial maces and rings, form part of the Crown Jewels, which are displayed at the Tower of London and are gawked at by around 2.5 million tourists a year.
The priceless collection of mainly ceremonial items, some of them going back 800 years, belongs not to a person but to the Crown and whoever is the monarch.
The Royal Collection is in itself divided into two portions. The bulk of the items are held in trust by the monarch of the time.
And then there is the Queen’s personal collection. This is mainly made up of items she inherited or was gifted by family members or bought herself. So, in theory, she could give them to whomever she wanted.
Over the years, Queen Elizabeth loaned many of them to family members for special events.
Kate Middleton wore the Cartier Halo tiara, which contains nearly 1,000 diamonds, at her wedding, while Meghan Markle donned Queen Mary’s stunning Art Deco-style diamond bandeau for her 2018 wedding. 
So has the Queen gifted these women the tiaras they wed in? It is worth noting that if family members are left these things in Her Majesty’s will, they will have to pay inheritance tax on what she has left them.
As the tax is up to 40 per cent of the value of the inheritance, and some of these tiaras are worth millions, the Queen will have had to consider if the tiaras were best left in the Royal Collection and be borrowed for special occasions.
