Diana's tiara inspires tower in Cincinnati.

From The Cincinnati Enquirer:
Cincinnati architects saw a picture of princess Diana and conceived the crown for the Queen City. It turns out that architects were royally inspired when they designed the tower destined to be Cincinnati's tallest. They drew on one of Princess Diana's tiaras as inspiration for the crown atop the 40-story Great American Insurance Building. Design architect Gyo Obata said, "That's perfect. Here we have the crown of the building, and the nickname for the city is Queen City!" In July of 2010, crews with Turner Construction lifted into place the final piece of the 300-ton tiara that now rests atop the Great American Tower at Queen City Square. The new tower is Cincinnati’s tallest skyscraper at 665 feet .
