Princess Mary's Diamond Bracelet Meghan Markle on Pinterest, @NEWS HOUR, Youtube.com, and @Joanne VanCoevern The tiara, which has eleven components and was initially designed to hold a diamond brooch for Queen Mary in 1932, is very adaptable. Back in 2018, the Duchess of Sussex wore a veil adorned with exquisitely cut pave diamonds that shimmered brilliantly with every flash of the camera. The bandeau's clean lines and simplicity complemented Meghan's dress, though it must have been difficult for her to choose just one among the many that would have been provided. Simple diamond earrings sparkled in the sunlight as Meghan wore the tiara.
