For her footwear, the Princess selected a pair of Ralph Lauren<\/a> pumps, a staple in her wardrobe since 2020. The Princess of Wales opted to wear a gold winged RAF brooch for the occasion, thought to be a tribute to a deep family connection to the events. Some saw it as a nod to Kate Middleton’s paternal grandfather, Peter Middleton, who served as a fighter pilot during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

But among these recycled favourites, Kate was seen sporting a piece of jewellery<\/a> that had royal watchers everywhere paying attention. Dazzling from the viewing platform, the Princess of Wales appeared to be wearing a never-before-seen pair of earrings \u2013 a drop ruby surrounded by diamonds, dangling from a trio of diamonds.<\/p>\n

Could this new debut be a wedding anniversary gift from Prince William? The pair celebrated 14 years of matrimony during an official visit to the Isle of Mull last week, where their romantic overnight stay in a self-catered cottage would have been a prime opportunity for William to offer a bejewelled present to his wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate sat next to Princess Charlotte \u2013 who recently celebrated her 10th birthday \u2013 during the military parade…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,7713,393,4884,29306,533,257,12,448,9321,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-79084","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-catherine-middleton","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-jewellery","13":"tag-kate-middleton","14":"tag-london","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-royals","17":"tag-the-princess-of-wales","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114460809352765060","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
