As is tradition for the royal, Kate opted for a pair of meaningful diamond and South Sea pearl earrings, which previously belonged to Princess Diana. She has worn them on numerous occasions in the past, including the Remembrance Day service in 2022 and the BAFTAs in 2019.
Kate Middleton has mastered the art of symbolic dressing over the years, wearing red, white and blue in recent days in the run-up to the coronation. For a visit to the Dog and Duck pub in Soho on 4 May, The Princess rewore a red Eponine coat with a blue lining, along with a white dress underneath. The following day, the royal chose a white midi-dress by Jenny Packham for a formal lunch at Buckingham Palace, before changing into a royal-blue Self-Portrait dress for a reception for heads of state in the evening.
When it comes to her jewelry, Kate often opts for poignant choices too. For the Buckingham Palace lunch on May 5, she wore Queen Elizabeth II’s Bahrain pearl drop earrings, which she was previously seen in at her late majesty’s state funeral in September. In the evening, Kate dipped into the royal jewelry box once again, wearing the Queen Mother’s sapphire and diamond fringe earrings.
