If the 27-year-old decides to wear a tiara that has a similar connection with her engagement ring - which was inspired by her mother Sarah, Duchess of York's design - she might opt for the tiara her mother wore when she wed Eugenie’s father Prince Andrew in1986. The beautiful tiara Sarah wore to her wedding was lent to her by her then mother-in-law the Queen. It would add a meaningful touchto Princess Eugenie's bridal attire, and would also fit in with the age-old tradition of the bride wearing 'something borrowed'!
