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.

One thing we are sure of The pieces have taken on new life in a way that both honours Diana and moves the clock forward, fashion-wise. For all the occasions that we’ve deduced Duchess Kate was paying tribute to Princess of Wales, Diana, through her look and the timing of her outfits, we’ve never caught her say that explicitly — not do we expect her to, as that would be kind of awkward. But when it comes to jewellery, we do know exactly which pieces came directly from Diana’s collection, because Diana was, of course, the most photographed woman of her time.

Diana’s Collingwood Pearl Earrings:When Lady Diana married Prince Charles, her family jewellers, Collingwood Jewellers, presented her with a suite including a set of pearl-drop earrings. Kate frequently wears them.
