Sarah Ferguson Blamed Disney For Princess Beatrice's Near Mishap At The Jordan Royal Wedding

Perhaps Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, felt the need to comment on Princess Beatrice's tiara because it's the first time the piece has been seen in public since the early 2000s. Known as the "York tiara," the elegant topper features scrollwork, a floral motif, and plenty of diamonds. Sarah was gifted the piece by the late Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day to her son, Prince Andrew, and wore it after the ceremony. 

The York Tiara is part of a set, which Sarah is also believed to possess, including a necklace, earrings, and bracelet. Unlike other royal jewels with a long history, the set was purchased by Her Majesty directly from Garrard. Sarah was spotted out and about wearing the lovely headpiece following her wedding all the way up to five years after her 1996 divorce from Andrew. Since then, the tiara has been stored in a safe, according to the duchess. She also had to add her two cents about that too, stating on her "Tea Talks" podcast, "Funny enough, I do keep it in the safe . . . It was very clean before [it was worn by Beatrice] because I do shine it up."

Seeing the York Tiara at the Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan's regal marriage to Rajwa Al Saif was even more surprising because Beatrice routinely doesn't wear the royal accessory. In fact, the last time royal watchers spotted her donning a tiara was at her own wedding in 2020.
