However, shortly before the wedding, Harry claims that Queen Elizabeth II “reached out” to the couple and offered Meghan Markle access to her tiara collection. “Even he invited us to buckingham palace to try them on”, says the Duke. When they were present in the late monarch’s royal dressing room, where five people were present (Isabel herself, a jeweler who is an expert in history who knows the origin of the entire royal collection, Angela Kelly, assistant Queen and Meghan and Harry’s staff) “There were five tiaras laid out and Grandma motioned for Meg to try them on in front of the full-length mirror. I stayed behind, watching. One was all emeralds. Another of aquamarines. Each new tiara was more superb and dazzling than the last. […] However, of the five, one stood out above the rest. Everyone agreed,” Prince Harry says.
