Summary
- The Derby Tiara, made in 1890, was loaned for a recent wedding.
- The tiara was previously worn at Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
- The wedding took place at Liverpool Cathedral and Knowsley Hall.
The Derby Tiara, a magnificent heirloom dating back to 1890, was recently the crowning glory for Lady Henrietta Stanley on her wedding day. The tiara was loaned by her mother, Caroline Stanley, the Countess of Derby, for the July 4th ceremony. This piece of history boasts a remarkable lineage, having been worn at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953 by the 18th Countess.
The grand occasion saw Lady Henrietta marry Alexander "Sasha" Reviakin at Liverpool Cathedral. Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at the Stanley family's historic seat, Knowsley Hall. The Countess of Derby marked the event as the first family wedding held at the venue in 160 years, sharing joyful moments on social media.
This cherished tiara, featuring intricate diamond settings, was originally created for the Duchess of Devonshire and is nearly identical to the Devonshire Tiara from 1893. Its appearance at the recent wedding underscores the enduring significance of family heirlooms for aristocrats.
