The Queen had a breathtaking collection of jewels and her tiaras always brought the wow factor, that's for sure. They are amongst the most extravagant and stunning in the world.

When was the last time she wore a tiara? Well, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, a lot of special events when a tiara would be called for were cancelled throughout 2020 and 2021. However, in October 2020, the Canadian Government released a portrait of the then 94-year-old monarch. The striking masterpiece, which was taken by royal photographer Chris Jackson, shows Her Majesty wearing a white embroidered dress with her Canadian insignia, as Sovereign of the Order of Canada and the Order of Military Merit.
