Princess Kate carried on The Queen’s Remembrance

Kate Middleton’s Iconic Diamond and Pearl Earrings: A Royal Tradition

Kate Middleton’s stunning diamond and pearl earrings, featuring one large round diamond and smaller stones alongside a Bahrain pearl, have become a meaningful part of royal tradition. Worn on several Remembrance Sundays, these earrings pay homage to the past, as the Princess of Wales continues the royal family’s legacy of wearing pearls for solemn occasions, a tradition that began with Queen Victoria.

Notably, Kate wore the earrings with the Japanese Pearl Choker Necklace from Queen Elizabeth’s collection at Prince Philip’s funeral in 2021, echoing a look worn by Princess Diana in 1982. The royal family’s enduring use of pearls symbolizes mourning, with Queen Elizabeth herself wearing them at several funerals.

However, Kate has also showcased their versatility, wearing them at the Royal Ascot in 2017, proving they’re not just for somber events.
