, or a necklace that has been passed down for generations. It helps, of course, that there are hundreds of years of the British monarchy to pick and choose from, to the point where Kate Middleton can pretty much wear anything and it can be seen as a reference to Queen Victoria or King George. For Thursday’s Trooping of Color parade, however, the Duchess opted to take a piece from more recent history, wearing a pair of earrings that once belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
The Royal Family gathered together to join in on the parade which honors the Queen’s birthday. For the occasion, Kate wore an ivory Alexander McQueen coat dress with a matching navy and ivory hat made by Philip Treacy. The standout of her look, however, were inarguably the diamond and sapphire earrings that dangled from her ears.The earrings formerly belonged to Diana, who wore them to the Met Gala back in 1996 with a matching layered pearl choker and a navy slip dress.
