FIRST OWNER OF LOTUS FLOWER
The Lotus Flower, also known as the Papyrus Crown, which adorned Kate Middleton’s head at a diplomatic dinner at Buckingham Palace has a long history.

Actually, this tiara was originally a necklace. The Queen Mother received this pearl and diamond necklace as a wedding gift in 1923. The person who gave her the necklace was her husband, George VI, who would later ascend the throne. He had bought this gift for his wife from a very famous jeweller. The Queen Mother, known as Elizabeth at the time, later wanted to use this jewel as a crown, not a necklace. The designers of the famous company, which her husband bought as a necklace, also made the jewelry look like it owes its fame. So he turned it into a crown.
