No Tiaras Until Later

While most images we have in our minds of princesses will typically involve tiaras, these are not actually worn by young princesses until they are married. In fact, only married princesses are allowed to wear a tiara at all. That’s why you’ll see princesses wearing sparkling tiaras on their wedding days.

When a royal baby is born, the rules of society immediately begin to apply in their lives, starting with their very first life event, which is the baptist. While at the baptism, it is expected that the baby be baptized while wearing the Honiton christening gown. There was even a replica made so that the future generations will be able to participate in this tradition as well.
