Hidden Tributes

Princess Kate made sure that some of the Royal Family's most loved late members were remembered during Remembrance weekend. While her outfits for the Festival of Remembrance and Remembrance Sunday looked elegant as always, it was her choice of jewelry that made them even more special. From wearing Queen Elizabeth's treasured earrings to bringing back a pair of Princess Diana's iconic jewels, the Princess of Wales included several quiet tributes.

Queen's Jewels

Kate paid tribute to the late Queen on Saturday, November 7, by wearing her late grandmother-in-law's 'Orbital' diamond earrings to the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. The Princess of Wales inherited the earrings in 2016 and has saved them for some of her most special appearances. The late Queen was also particularly fond of the design, which features a floral diamond cluster and four diamonds hanging inside a sparkling frame. The late Queen had worn them several times during her reign, including at the State Opening of Parliament in 2012 and even to the Garter Service at St. George's Chapel.

A Special Repeat

The Princess of Wales also brought back a dress that had a special connection to another late royal. For the Festival of Remembrance, Kate wore her black polka-dot Alessandra Rich silk midi dress, which she had previously worn to the Service of Thanksgiving for Prince Philip in March 2022. She made a few changes to the outfit this time, removing the decorative silver buttons on the shoulders, closing the front slit, and replacing the matching belt with a black suede one.

Diana's Pearls

On Remembrance Sunday, Kate paid a beautiful tribute to her late mother-in-law, Diana, by wearing her Collingwood Pearl Drop Earrings. The earrings were originally gifted to Diana by jeweller Collingwood ahead of her 1981 wedding to then-Prince Charles. They soon became one of her signature accessories, thanks to their beautiful diamond setting and large pearl drops. Kate has worn the earrings on several occasions since first debuting them at a state banquet in 2017. Her decision to wear them for the Cenotaph service was another meaningful nod to William's late mother.
