Princess Andrew's Meander Tiara
The term “meander” is another word for the Greek key design that makes up the band of this tiara. No one seems to know precisely when Princess Andrew, who was born Princess Alice of Battenberg, acquired the tiara, but it would make sense that she received a Greek key tiara after marrying Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903.
The tiara is made of diamonds, and the Greek key design is punctuated by a central laurel wreath element and two honeysuckle elements.
The tiara was handed over to Princess Anne, who still owns the piece today.
Zara paired her great-grandmother’s tiara with a veil for her Scottish wedding, paying tribute to her lesser-known royal heritage.

'Her Majesty and I discussed different ideas for the photographs. I suggested that Annie should keep things simple and that the shoot should be informal, based around The Queen and her family. I suggested four photographs that should be taken at Windsor Castle: The Queen with His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh; The Queen with all of her great-grandchildren; The Queen with her corgis; and one of The Queen and her daughter, The Princess Royal. I felt that The Queen hadn't been photographed often enough with her daughter and, as I have a daughter myself, I thought it would make a special photo for them to share as mother and daughter. The Queen wholeheartedly agreed.'
