As King Charles aims to sideline Meghan, he seems to favor his eldest daughter-in-law, Princess Catherine. Inside information suggests that King Charles plans to bestow upon Kate a pair of Queen Elizabeth's earrings for an upcoming royal wedding. This wedding is in honor of Prince Abdul Matten, the son of the Sultan of Brunei, who is set to marry Anisha Isakovic in an extravagant 9-day ceremony in January 2024.
Prince Abdul Matten's sisters, Princess Fedzilla and Princess Asma, recently tied the knot in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Kensington Palace has revealed that Prince William and Princess Kate may grace the event with their presence, reciprocating the attendance of the Sultan and Queen of Brunei at their own 2021 wedding.
Princess Catherine is expected to adorn the Queen's floral diamond earrings, a pair that held a special place in the Queen Mother's collection. These earrings consist of a small stud and a large modern floral pendant, and the Queen used to wear them on various formal occasions.
The Queen inherited these earrings from her mother in 2002 and occasionally adorned them for formal evening events. During the Jordan royal wedding this summer, Kate graced the evening banquet with two special pieces of jewelry from the Royal Vault: Queen Mary's Lovers Knot Tiara and Queen Elizabeth's Gravel Chandelier Earrings.
