(Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images) Charles McQuillan—Getty Images by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Mar 30, 2018 6:38 PM UTC When it comes to her tiara, [Meghan Markle](http://time.com/5065910/prince-harry-meghan-markle-wedding-date/) won’t be wearing “something borrowed” from [Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011](http://time.com/4306624/alexander-mcqueen-kate-middleton-wedding-dress/). Plenty of people strongly dislike attending the nuptials of relatives they don’t relate to. But on May 19, people around the world will gather to study every detail of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding – including the glittering lure of whatever headgear the incoming princess hits the aisle with. And as fans look forward to the fancy hat event of the year are busy making a meal out of all things Markle, there’s one glitzy tiara we can officially rule out. The heirloom crown is the Cartier Halo tiara that [Queen Elizabeth II](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/bbc-the-coronation-of-queen-elizabeth-ii) loaned to Kate Middleton when she tied the knot with Prince William. The piece is hitting the National Gallery of Australia where it will be on display from March 30 through July 22\. It’s going to be featured in “Cartier: The Exhibition” among myriad brooches, necklaces and other tiaras on view. According to [_People_](http://people.com/royals/why-meghan-markle-definitely-wont-be-wearing-kate-middletons-tiara-to-her-wedding/), the Queen has graciously lent it out again from the Royal Collection Trust and the Queen. (She got it as an 18th birthday gift from her mom, just like you.) So unless Markle studies _Ocean’s 11_, _Ocean’s 12_, _Ocean’s 13_ and a screening of [_Ocean’s 8_](http://time.com/5065792/oceans-8-poster/) in order to pull off the ultimate heist, we won’t see that tiara on the big day. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5222766/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-tiara/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5222766/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-tiara/"},"headline":"The One Tiara You Definitely Won't See Meghan Markle Wear on Her Big Day","datePublished":"2018-03-30T18:38:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:46.011Z","description":"The one tiara that you won't see on Meghan Markle at the royal wedding on May 19.","url":"https://time.com/5222766/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-tiara/","keywords":["Newsfeed","fashion","royal wedding","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09f3a8e870d5fe3c/69892c7f86f68ee8d66e8c10/meghan-markle-tiara-033018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09f3a8e870d5fe3c/69892c7f86f68ee8d66e8c10/meghan-markle-tiara-033018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Visit Northern Ireland","caption":"Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Visit Northern Ireland","creditText":"Charles McQuillan—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5222766/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-tiara/","name":"The One Tiara You Definitely Won't See Meghan Markle Wear on Her Big Day"}}]}] ```
