The Lover's Knot tiara, which Princess Diana said was so heavy it gave her headaches, was kept in a safe at Buckingham Palace after her death in 1997 before it was handed to Kate.

The headpiece, encrusted with pearls and diamonds, was made by Royal jewellers Garrard in 1914 to Queen Mary's personal design.

This is one of Kate Middleton's favourite tiaras, and she has been spotted wearing it on several occasions, including the recent state dinner.
