There are no family heirlooms with more history than those of the British royal family, and if anyone knows about it, it's Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. Lately, Her Highness has been digging deeper into the crown jewels and opting to wear pieces belonging to Queen Elizabeth II for royal tours and state banquets.
Although 2020 has not had the usual annual events that make up the royal agenda, the Duchess had the opportunity to use the family jewelery box for her public appearance on December 8 at Windsor Castle, an act that ended the mini-tour for United Kingdom to thank the workers of the National Health Service for the services provided during the pandemic. Dressed in a long green Catherine Walker coat decorated with a faux fur stole, she finished off the look with dazzling diamond earrings that, although Kate has been wearing them since 2016, originally belonged to the queen. The last loan that the monarch has made to him has been the most emotional to date. The Duchess arrived at the funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, wearing a four-strand pearl choker lent to her by Her Majesty. The necklace has been circulating from royal to royal since the early 1980s and was reportedly a favorite of Diana, Princess of Wales.
