On numerous occasions, Kate Middleton has elegantly echoed Princess Diana's iconic style, emphasizing a timeless connection between generations.
During the Shaping Us National Symposium at The Design Museum in London, the Princess of Wales, aged 41, captivated onlookers as she adorned herself with a resplendent set of sapphire and diamond drop earrings—a treasured inheritance from her late mother-in-law.
The radiant accessories took center stage as Kate delivered a keynote speech, their brilliance reflecting the enduring legacy of Princess Diana's impeccable taste.
This, however, is not the sole instance of Prince William's wife embracing the ethereal charm of her late mother-in-law's jewelry. Previously showcased at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in March and Trooping the Colour in June, these earrings have become emblematic of Kate Middleton's homage to Princess Diana's enduring elegance.
The debut of these earrings occurred at the 2022 Trooping the Colour, dispelling longstanding rumors about Kate wearing a repurposed, smaller version of the same design for the past decade.
Lauren Kiehna of The Court Jeweller blog debunked the speculation, clarifying the distinction between the cabochon sapphires in Diana's earrings and the faceted ones in Kate's smaller version. "The claim has now been fully debunked as Kate has now worn the double cluster earrings," she asserted.
Notably, Princess Diana herself adorned the sapphire-diamond set multiple times in the '90s, leaving an indelible mark, most notably gracing the cover of British Vogue in 1994. As Kate Middleton continues to honor her late mother-in-law through these exquisite adornments, the elegance and grace of Princess Diana's legacy live on in every shimmering detail.
