Anne switched up her usual tiara selection for one with a unique family history.

There’s no shortage of sparkle at the state banquetfor the President and First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Oluremi Tinubu this evening.
The banquet is part of a formal state visit by the Nigerian leaders. Earlier in the trip, couple were welcomed by King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton, observed a procession by the Guard of Honor, and laid a wreath on the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II.
While Anne frequently opts for her signature Pineflower Tiara for state banquets (she wore the piece for both the U.S. and German state banquets at the end of last year—for the former, she actually had the piece removed from display at the V&A just so she could wear it), tonight she switched things up, wearing a bandeau style with an equally sweet family connection.
Reportedly created for Anne’s paternal grandmother, Princess Alice of Battenberg (also known as Princess Andrew of Greece) the Meander Tiara features a diamond-encrusted Greek key design accented by floral flourished and a central diamond ringed by laurel leaves. It was given by Alice to her daughter-in-law, the late Queen Elizabeth II, though the queen was never pictured wearing it. Anne, though has been appearing in the tiara since the 1960s. Only adding to its sentimental value, the tiara was also worn by Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, on her wedding day in 2011, ensuring that Anne is carrying plenty of family history with her at tonight’s event.
