It's the first time we've read that Prince William blocked MM's access to the TQ's jewels after the wedding. That wouldn't have been done lightly. They must have thought there was a serious risk of some sort.
Did they have problems getting the goodies back after the wedding? Or does this come back to the old rumours that MM had a deal to merch replicas of anything she wore?
Can anyone quote the actual article where the Angela Kelly accusation came from. Because I thought I read it but it never was said what she had actually done. So it seams very much like click bait. I am also not sure that Wiliam did anything. I think she actually was in for a customised tiara - very much like Fergie and Sophie. Unlike Kate one day- she would have never had access to the vault and it seems the women in that position get their own one additionally to what they will be loaned. So I’m sad she didn’t even make it to one tiara occasion. I also wonder why Meghan didn’t ask to wear the Spencer tiara for her wedding.
It is noticeable that she didn’t wear any jewellery from the RC for the three tours.
She wore diamond earrings on Fidji, that KP confirmed to be borrowed- but didn’t specify from whom. Some think they are a long term loan from Camilla.
She received pearl earrings from the Queen though (confirmed by BP) that are said to be a gift from her personal collection.
And a diamond tennis bracelet from PC.
For Diana’s jewellery: the Aquamarine ring, the butterfly earrings and a gold bracelet with blue stones, a diamond bracelet.
In comparison Kate, in the same time span (22 months from wedding day):
Diamond bracelet that is maybe a wedding gift from PC. Might be part of a set as she also wears earrings and there is a necklace that seem to match. But it is also said the set (if is is one) were wedding gifts from a friend.
Loans from the Queen: Diamond Chandelier earrings, Maple Leaf brooch (1st Tour).
Diana’s engagement ring, sapphire and diamond earrings that are supposedly a reset from a pair of Diana’s.
So that is two loans from the Queen. Not much difference, even though it was speculated Meghan would get a brooch loaned for her first tour. But Kate is outranking her in miles and I can definitely seeing her not wanting a brooch from HM. It very much clashes with her style.
