I wouldn't need to own a tiara -- what am I going to do with it when I'm dead? I'm not having any kids to pass it onto...
I just want to get to wear the pretty stuff.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Myself, I'd probably take a tiara with a royal history over something fresh from Harry Winston (or tasteful royal-catering equivalent). But that's me.
They have vaults full of tiaras gathering dust. If Chuck needs to wheedle a bit to have one designated as his sweetie's he needs to GET TO WHEEDLING.

Not that he's not probably a champion wheedler, but Camilla doesn't strike me as the type to really give a damn one way or the other.
BTW, how freaking psycho did Laura Bush look in virtually every picture from Charles and Camilla's visit?

Once at Fred Leighton they let me put on one of the tiaras. I think it cost about half a mil. Oh my. That was fun.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am very amused to see that the discussion of tiaras has just bumped God to the sidelines. Tiaras must be one of the Bitches trump cards or something.
I feel like, when I decided not to wear a tiara at my wedding, I pretty much ruled out the need to ever wear one, because that would have been the event to wear one. Instead I had big faux pearls in my hair. That worked.

Always Anti-fascist!
The thought of my wearing something like that other than as a gag=ROTFL. I'm not sure if I'm convinced I'm ugly still or if it's a "Working-Class Hero" thing. They'll hate you if you're clever/And despise a fool.

I first noticed it when the newspaper had a picture of Camilla standing right behind the queen ... who's much shorter and her hair was all flat in places from her (smaller) tiara. And, yes, Camilla does need her very own spiffy tiara.

If I only had a brain...
Presumably the Queen keeps custody of the Royal heirlooms while she's queen. Seems fair.
There's the complicated issue of which jewelry is the Queen's personally and which belongs to the Crown. Most of the stuff you see her wearing (barring actual crowns) belongs to her, and to whomever she leaves it to.
