Princess Margaret’s wedding dress was ‘iconic’ – but Serena Stanhope wore a ‘near replica’

As well as her wedding dress, Princess Margaret wowed the world in 1960 with her choice of tiara.

Daena explained: “Despite how striking her gown looked, it was her headpiece of choice that stole hearts on the day.

“In typical Princess Margaret fashion, she did something rather unusual for the time.

“Instead of borrowing a tiara from the royal collection, the Princess wore a tiara that she herself had purchased – the Poltimore Tiara, which she had bought at an auction in 1959 from the grandson of the 4th Baron Poltimore, for around £5,500.
