WILL KATE WEAR THE QUEEN'S TIARA?

Royal tiara: A bet has been placed that Kate Middleton will wear the Queen's George III diamond tiara for her wedding. The Queen is pictured right wearing the tiara at her wedding. It was also worn by the Queen Mother and Princess Anne

Miss Middleton had previously been heavily tipped to wear flowers on her head as she marries on Friday - but the large bet has strengthened suspicions that she will don the George III tiara.
One bookmaker in Ascot yesterday refused to take the woman's £6,000 bet, convinced that she had inside information.

But she drove to a  Ladbrokes in Egham where she was offered odds of 12-1.
Her gamble, thought to be the largest on the Royal Wedding so far, has driven Ladbrokes to stop taking bets on what Miss Middleton will wear on her head on Friday.
A spokesman for Ladbrokes said: 'When someone walks in off the street and places a bet like that alarm bells start ringing. We have very strong suspicions that this is what she will be wearing on Friday.

Passed down: The Queen Mother also leant the diamond tiara to Princess Anne for her wedding to Captain Mark Phillips in 1973

The tiara was made in 1919 for Queen Mary (left) who gave it to her daughter-in-law, the new Queen (right) , in 1937. She went on to become the Queen Mother

'It was a lady, not the kind of person you'd see in a betting shop on any day of the week let alone a bank holiday .
'Asking for a bet in this market is very unusual, asking for a bet of £6,000 is unheard of.'
The George III tiara was made in 1830 as a necklace with diamonds belonging to King George III.
It was inherited by Queen Mary, for whom it was turned into a tiara and in turn given to the Queen Mother.

Something borrowed: The Queen wears the tiara at her wedding in 1947. She almost broke it after it was lent to her by the Queen Mother

There was a minor drama when she snapped the tiara in Buckingham Palace, hours before her wedding.
But the court jeweller, under police guard, was able to repair it in time.
She loaned it to the Queen as 'something borrowed' for her wedding to Prince Phillip in 1947.
The Queen Mother loaned it again to Princess Anne for her 1973 marriage to Captain Mark Phillips.
Queen Victoria first wore the George III diamonds on a visit to the Royal Opera in 1839.

SHE BETTER WEAR IT OR THE QUEEN WILL HAVE HER ARSE!!!!!ROFLMBO  HAHAHAH
