Will Kate Wear a Tiara on Her Wedding Day?

                         How it could look: A photomontage of how Kate would look with a royal tiara

Planning a wedding can be very stressful for any young couple. Imagine if you are going to be watched by over 2 billion people, and you one day will be the King and Queen "Consort" of England. There are always going to be differences of opinion. The latest from across the pond is whether or not Kate should wear flowers or a tiara in her hair.

From the MailOnline.com:

The latest battleground is that Camilla is said to be desperate to persuade the bride to wear a tiara — even asking friends to intervene on her behalf — because Kate is said to be considering wearing flowers in her hair.

While Charles and Camilla have no wish to be seen as extravagant or out of touch, they believe there is a level of formality and grandeur beneath which a royal wedding must not sink. In their 60s, their tendencies are traditional and patrician.

However, William and Kate are decades younger and have been guests at a plethora of weddings in their peer group, so are keen by natural instinct and public relations savvy not to be old-fashioned or stuffy.

As for the tiara vs flowers debate, the experts say all the blooms on the day are likely to be British garden flowers, including roses, like the ones Fiona Cairns will craft in icing on her wedding cake.

The U.S., home of Miss Universe and Barbie, will be disappointed if Miss Middleton doesn’t wear a tiara. People magazine has got its readers to vote on which one Kate should wear: The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland is in pole position.

So there we are: flowers and minibuses vs diamonds and chauffeurs. You might say William and Kate want to keep it real, while Charles and Camilla want to keep it royal.

Clarence House aides say that Kate doesn’t want anyone to know who’s making the dress because having dated William for so long it’s the only surprise she’s got left for him, never mind the rest of us.

Now, it turns out there’s something else for us to speculate about — what will come out on top, the tiara or the flowers?
