The special tiara Princess Eugenie will wear on her wedding day

Before Princess Eugenie says “I do” to fiancé Jack Brooksbank on October 12, the Queen’s granddaughter must choose which tiara she will wear when she walks down the aisle.

Royal experts suspect Eugenie will choose to wear the same headpiece her mother Sarah Ferguson wore on her wedding day, the York Tiara.

When Fergie married Prince Andrew in 1986, she received the impressive tiara as a wedding gift from the Queen.

The tiara, which was designed by luxury jeweller Garrard, has been worn by Fergie for multiple black tie events since her nuptials.

The tiara features a five-carat diamond surrounded by an ornate swirling pattern of jewels.

The impressive headpiece is also part of a set that includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings that were all worn by Fergie on her big day.

Fergie’s tiara is just one of the many royal headpieces that had been passed down through the generations.

When tying the knot with Prince Harry earlier this year, Meghan wore a headpiece that belonged to the Queen’s grandmother, Queen Mary.

The tiara was gifted to Elizabeth when Queen Mary died in 1953 and features a centrepiece made of 10 diamonds.

It is believed that the Duchess of Sussex visited the Queen at Buckingham Palace to choose what tiara she would wear for her special day.

When Kate married Prince William in 2011, she borrowed the Cartier Halo Tiara from the Queen.

The headpiece was gifted to the Queen Mother from her husband King George VI in 1936.
