Sarah Ferguson, aka Fergie, famously walked into Westminster Abbey on July 23, 1986, with her veil held in place by a gorgeous arrangement of flowers, including lots of gardenias, her husband-to-be's favorite bloom. But after she said "I do" and signed the register, the new Duchess of York emerged back into the church with the flowers gone and a brand-new tiara in its place.
This all-diamond diadem, known ever since as the York Tiara, was a wedding present from the queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to their new daughter-in-law. It's made up of scroll motifs with a central decoration topped with a dazzling single stone, and it's the only tiara that Fergie ever wore during her six years as a member of the Firm.
She kept the tiara following her divorce from Prince Andrew, and it had been the hot favorite for Eugenie to wear at her royal wedding to Jack Brooksbank this October. However, Eugenie had different ideas . . .
