Here are some of the pieces that Kate Middleton has plucked from Diana’s collection and made her own.How many of you like Kate Middleton ‘s jewellery collection inherited from Princess Diana?
For those royal fans who aren’t aware, Princess Diana was known for her widespread charity work and her personal touch. But one of her most elegant gestures was to make an exceptional provision in her will for women she never met. It’s her sons’ wives — whom she planned to “have, or use” the jewels she left to William and Harry.
We all know what happened next, don’t we? Prince William and Prince Harry grew up and got married. Presently we’re witnessing Diana’s most iconic pieces — from bracelets to earrings to cocktail rings — on Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. We are not certain if they have, in turn, gifted the pieces to their wives — or, er, simply lent them to their wives.
