The Windors might have centuries of diamonds for brides to choose from but when the Queen's eldest granddaughter, Zara Phillips, got married she picked a tiara with its origins in another royal family for her wedding day look. Zara, who married Mike Tindall on July 30, 2011 at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, chose a diadem that had once belonged to the Greek royals.
Zara borrowed the Greek Meander Tiara from her mom, Princess Anne, who had actually been given it by her own mother, the Queen, in 1972. However, it first belonged to Princess Alice, the mother of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Alice was born at Windsor Castle but after her marriage to Prince Andrew of Greece, she made her home in Athens. This tiara was one of her princess pieces there and it features a Greek key design, made up completely of diamonds, as well as a central laurel wreath. Zara's decision to pay tribute to her grandfather's family is a sweet and stylish addition to her stand out wedding day look.
