Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has been honoring Queen Elizabeth II through the period of mourning for the late monarch by wearing small, tasteful pieces of jewelry once owned by the queen. At a reception on Sept. 17, she wore one of the queen’s pearl necklaces.
Middleton has been seen in these earrings before. She also wore them to Prince Philip’s funeral on April 17, 2021. The earrings had special significance on both occasions as they formerly belonged to Queen Elizabeth and are made from pearls presented to the Queen as a wedding gift in 1947.
