While there may not have been millions of viewers of this wedding (or even a live televised broadcast of the ceremony), there _was_ a famous and eye-catching [tiara](http://time.com/5278008/meghan-markle-wedding-tiara/) in the mix. The bride wore the historic [Spencer Tiara](http://time.com/5237031/meghan-markle-tiara/), in fact, which is the same one that Princess Diana also donned for her own wedding to Prince Charles back in 1981\. It is owned by the Spencer family, of which McCorquodale is a part. On her side, Markle eschewed head-topping diamonds for a fascinator this time around, paired with a flowing blue floral Oscar de la Renta wrap dress and white heels; Harry, ever the [“best husband ever,”](http://time.com/5312277/meghan-markle-on-harry/) matched her color scheme with his blue tie. It’s been a busy start to official royal family duties for Markle, who just last week traveled with the Queen for [a day of engagements](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/1007197720740851712) in the county of Cheshire.
