FILE - In this Nov. 20, 1947 file photo, Britain's Princess Elizabeth and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh are seen leaving Westminster Abbey, London following their wedding service. Will she or won’t she _ wear a tiara? Meghan Markle will have access to one of the world’s most remarkable jewelry collections for her wedding to Prince Harry. Queen Elizabeth II, Harry’s grandmother, has hundreds of jeweled tiaras sparkling away in locked vaults covered with diamonds _ to say nothing of rubies, sapphires and emeralds. An option may be Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara, which Elizabeth wore when she married Prince Philip in 1947 as the nation struggled to recover from the destruction of World War II. (AP Photo, file)
