What happens to Queen Elizabeth II's tiaras now?

These are all questions I've answered in the past so this may be a bit repetitive if you've followed me awhile but I figured it's a good time to go over it again.

Ownership

All of Queen Elizabeth II's tiaras were owned by her personally and they were not part of the crown jewels. In the UK, the crown jewels just consists of the crowns and official regalia not regularly wore jewelry. There are also a few items in this weird gray area called Heirlooms of the Crown which Queen Victoria's will dictated should be passed from monarch to monarch but for our purposes we're just going to ignore that. So since she personally owned her tiaras she could have theoretically left them to whoever she wanted but in practice that's not going to happen. The vast majority of her jewels will have been left to King Charles III because in the the UK items passed from monarch to monarch are not subject to inheritance tax. If she were to leave tiaras to other members of the family they would most likely have to sell them to pay the inheritance taxes similar to how the Earl of Snowdon and Lady Sarah Chatto sold most of Princess Margaret's jewelry collection including the Poltimore Tiara. I assume she left some smaller pieces to her children and grandchildren but anything major like tiaras will have been left to Charles.

Loaning

Now that King Charles III owns the tiaras he will do the same thing his mother did by loaning it out to the women in the family to wear as he sees fit. This will mostly be for long term loans but occasionally jewelry is loaned out just for one event. Queen Elizabeth II used to loan out fewer jewels but in the 2000s she started to be a bit more generous with her loans. I don't think that we'll really notice a difference in jewelry loaning practices but of course I hope that he loans out even more jewelry because I want to see it worn. The pieces that are already loaned out will probably continue to be used by that person the same as before it will just be Charles doing the loaning instead of QEII.

Queen Camilla

I don't think we will see a sudden shift in the jewelry that is worn by Queen Camilla. She's someone that definitely has her favorite pieces so she will probably continue to wear the jewelry she already wears and will gradually add more pieces as needed. Camilla can really pull off wearing larger tiaras and jewelry so I am excited to see her wear more in the future. The tiaras I'm most looking forward to her wearing are Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik Tiara, Queen Victoria's Oriental Circlet, and the Queen Mother's Turquoise Tiara and I really want an official portrait of her wearing King George IV's Diamond Diadem. The only one that I think she might stay away from is Queen Mary's Girls of Great Britain & Ireland Tiara. It was Queen Elizabeth II's most iconic tiara and the family may decide not to have anyone wear it for awhile out of respect and to be honest fear of backlash. I hope I'm wrong because it's one of my favorite tiaras but I understand if they want to rest it for a bit and there are plenty of other tiaras in the vault.

If you have any other questions about the British Royal Family's tiaras and jewelry please don't hesitate to ask but to say I'm slow at answering things is an understatement so give me time to get back to you. For a lot of this we will just have to wait and see what happens.
