On the anniversary of Elizabeth II’s death, Catherine wore a pair of sentimental diamond and pearl earrings
The Princess of Wales paid a touching sartorial tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the first anniversary of her death, wearing a pair of diamond and pearl earrings that once belonged to the late monarch.
Attending a memorial service at St Davids Cathedral in Pembrokeshire, the Princess wore the sentimental earrings, which nod to one of the style signatures of Elizabeth II, with a berry-hued coat dress by Eponine London and a new hat by Sahar Millinery.
She previously wore the same coat last December for the Together at Christmas concert, which she hosted in memory of the late Queen. It’s a fashion choice that demonstrates the Princess’s commitment to style symbolism over practicality, given she chose to wear it on one of the warmest days of the year.
In choosing the diamond and pearl earrings, which were first seen on her husband’s grandmother during the celebrations for her Silver Jubilee in 1977, the Princess is continuing a longstanding royal tradition of wearing diamonds and pearls during a time of mourning.
