"Many Photos" - The Queen bans Meghan from wearing jewellery from Royal Collection

The Queen has 'banned' the Duchess of Sussex from wearing some of the priceless items from her Royal Collection, it has been revealed today. 

Certain priceless items from the collection, which are loaned at the discretion of Her Majesty, will not be made available to Meghan, according to a palace insider.  

The move reportedly came after the Queen was left 'unimpressed by Meghan's demanding behaviour' ahead of her marriage to Prince Harry last year - during which he is reported to have told staff, 'What Meghan wants Meghan gets.' 

Buckingham Palace has reportedly introduced the stringent new rules in a bid to 'maintain order, hierarchy and precedence' within the Royal Family.

A 'royal insider' told The Sun: 'To be perfectly honest, the Queen herself was not impressed with some of Meghan's demands, especially as a new member of the family.

What is the Queen's Royal Collection?  

The Royal Collection, which is held in trust by the Queen, boasts a glittering array of crowns, tiaras, necklaces and earrings.

They include the ‘Lovers’ Knot’ tiara worn by the Duchess of Cambridge to the banquet last October.

Commissioned by Queen Mary in 1913, it has 19 diamond arches with pearls beneath them and has previously been worn by both the Queen and Princess Diana, who reportedly complained that its weight gave her a headache.

Other famous headpieces include the Queen Mother’s Cartier Halo tiara, which boasts 888 diamonds and was loaned to the Duchess of Cambridge for her wedding to Prince William in 2011.

'As a result, Buckingham Palace has decided that not all items from the Queen's royal collection will be opened up to Meghan.

'As part of that situation, the Queen informed Prince William that the items from the Royal Collection worn by Princess Diana would not immediately be made available to Meghan.' 

Last month, The Mail on Sunday revealed the Prince of Wales told the Duchess of Sussex not to wear a tiara to her first overseas state dinner, fearing it might look ‘extravagant’.  

The Duchess had hoped to borrow a jewelled tiara from the Royal Collection for the event, but she was advised by her father-in-law that such ostentation is avoided in parts of the Commonwealth where it can be seen as reminiscent of a bygone era or ‘extravagant’.

A source said: ‘Meghan did not understand all of this because she was new to the role and so Prince Charles told her that it would not be appropriate.

‘It was very kindly done.’

Items reportedly ‘banned’ include the Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings (worn by the Queen in 2015, left and the Duchess of Cambridge in 2016, right) 

The absence of a tiara drew attention when Meghan, wearing a blue full-length gown by Safiyaa, arrived for the dinner hosted by the president of Fiji Jioji Konrote – not least because the Duchess of Cambridge wore a large diamond and pearl headpiece once owned by Princess Diana to a state banquet at Buckingham Palace on the same night.

However Meghan did at the time wear a pair of diamond earrings that are thought to have been borrowed, possibly from the Royal Collection, which is the largest private collection of art in the world.

Last year, Meghan and Harry's wedding preparations shaken by a dispute over another tiara. The former Suits actress had reportedly set her heart on an emerald encrusted headpiece, but her request was refused when the origin of the piece could not be established.

When Harry heard this, he reportedly said, ‘What Meghan wants, Meghan gets’, prompting the Queen to intervene.

At the time, a source was quoted as saying: ‘There was a very heated exchange that prompted the Queen to speak to Harry.

‘She said: “Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she’s given by me.” ’

In the end, Meghan wore Queen Mary’s diamond and platinum bandeau tiara from the Queen’s private collection during the wedding ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. 

Meghan picked the tiara from the Queen's collection during a visit to Buckingham Palace with Prince Harry, which she described as 'an incredibly surreal day'.

Meghan and Prince Harry recorded their memories of the wedding for an audio commentary that is part of the 'Relive the Royal Wedding' exhibition at Windsor Castle.

Speaking about the tiara she wore, Meghan said: 'When it came to the tiara on the day, I was very fortunate to be able to choose this gorgeous art deco style bandeau tiara.

'Harry and I had gone to Buckingham Palace to meet with Her Majesty The Queen to select one of the options that were there, which was an incredibly surreal day as you can imagine.

'And that was the one that, I think, as we tried them on, stood out.'

Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have been approached for comment.  

Meghan's something borrowed: Which tiara did she wear?

Meghan's sparkling tiara was the Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau, which has been loaned to her by Harry's grandmother the Queen.

Royal brides are traditionally loaned priceless heirlooms to wear on their wedding day.

Meghan could have chosen the Spencer tiara - famously worn by Harry's later mother Diana, Princess of Wales when she married the Prince of Wales in 1981.

But Meghan has instead selected this little known piece, which features a magnificent floral-shaped suspended brooch in the centre made of a large round diamond surrounded by nine smaller circular diamonds.

It was specifically made for the Queen's grandmother Queen Mary in 1932 to accommodate the detachable brooch, which was given to Mary as a wedding present in 1893 by the County of Lincoln.

The bandeau is a flexible band of 11 intricate glittering sections, pierced with interlaced ovals and pave set with large and small brilliant diamonds.

The bandeau and the brooch were bequeathed by Queen Mary to her granddaughter the Queen on her death in 1953.
