Royal Shock! Princess Charlotte to Inherit Diana’s £400K Tiara — NOT Lilibet?! Here’s Why…⤵️⤵️
OFFICIAL! Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, CONFIRMS Princess Charlotte will inherit the £400K Spencer family tiara — SKIPPING Lilibet in the U.S. — full details below
## NOT OFFICIAL — Here’s What the Facts Reveal About the Spencer Tiara and Who Might Inherit It
### What is the Spencer Tiara?
The Spencer Tiara is a private family heirloom of the Princess Diana-born, aristocratic Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer-led family (the Spencers). It is **not** part of the British Crown Jewels or the publicly-held royal collection. ([Marie Claire][1])
It was worn by Diana for her 1981 wedding to King Charles III (then Prince Charles). ([HELLO!][2])
The value often cited is around £400,000. ([Royal Insider][3])
### What the rumours claim
Some recent reports (particularly from less authoritative outlets) claim that Charles Spencer has *officially declared* that Princess Charlotte of Wales will **inherit** the tiara — “skipping” Princess Lilibet of Sussex (daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) in the U.S. ([ukdiscoverer][4])
According to these stories, the move is framed as a symbolic link to Diana’s legacy through Charlotte, rather than to Lilibet, partly because Charlotte is more embedded in the “core” British royal family. ([Reality Tea][5])
### What the evidence actually shows
* The tiara remains the possession of the Spencer family. Diana borrowed or used it, but it was never formally transferred to her or into the royal collection. ([Marie Claire][1])
* Several reputable sources say that while there *is* speculation about Charlotte wearing or “receiving” the tiara in future, there is **no confirmed statement** from Charles Spencer that the tiara will definitively go to Charlotte. ([Marie Claire][6])
* One expert notes that the most likely outcome remains the piece being inherited via the Spencer family lineage — potentially via Charles Spencer’s son (the heir) rather than the royal line. ([Marie Claire][1])
* The claim that Lilibet is “skipped” is unsourced beyond gossip-style mentions; there is no publicly verifiable document stating she is excluded, though the logic of “core royal family role” is cited in commentary. ([Reality Tea][5])
### So what can we realistically conclude?
* It is **not verified** that Charles Spencer has *officially declared* the tiara will go to Princess Charlotte.
* It is true that many reports have suggested Charlotte as a likely future wearer or beneficiary, owing to her public role and connection to Diana.
* The tiara remains privately owned by the Spencer family; its final destination (whether outright gift, loan for a special event, or inherited within the Spencer line) remains speculative.
* Any claim that Lilibet is definitively excluded should be treated as unverified and speculative.
### Why the confusion persists
* The highly symbolic nature of the tiara (because Diana wore it) makes it a magnet for sensational headlines.
* Media outlets sometimes conflate “will wear/borrow in future” with “will inherit” or “will own” — leading to claims of official confirmation when none exist.
* The intricate overlapping of “royal family” vs “aristocratic family” inheritance traditions adds complexity to media interpretation.

### Bottom line
While Princess Charlotte is **widely reported** to be the most likely future wearer (or beneficiary) of the Spencer Tiara, **no credible source** confirms an official declaration from Charles Spencer that she will “inherit” it, and equally there is **no documented official exclusion** of Princess Lilibet. The piece remains a private Spencer family heirloom, and its ultimate fate remains in the hands of that family rather than the Crown or palace.
