Nah! I have seen pics of her wearing it, most often she wore a Spencer
Family Tiara, as at her wedding and on most other occasions.

But the Queen gave her one of the Queens grandmothers, Queen Mary's,
acquisitions, that she, Lady Di, wore occasionaly, along with a
'Riviera' (necklace, bracelets, broach and ear rings) for a wedding
present. I think, iirc it was bought cheaply by Queen Mary from the
Russian government back in the 1920's when they were 'deaquisitioning' a
great deal of 'treasures' though i could be wrong.

It was not the Cambridge Tiara that came from Queen Mary's family (the
"Teck's") but i would have to look it up to be precise.
