NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Today is likely to be an emotional one for the royal family, as the date marks one year since Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
For the anniversary, the Prince and Princess of Wales are visiting St Davids Cathedral, in Pembrokeshire, to commemorate the life of Her Late Majesty.
Kate Middleton gave a sentimental nod to the late Queen with her jewellery as she stepped out in Wales, opting for special pearl drop earrings – previously owned by the previous monarch.
The Princess of Wales first borrowed the jewels from the Queen when she went to the Netherlands for her first solo abroad trip in October 2016, and wore them late last year when greeting Commonwealth troops ahead of the state funeral.
