The late Queen Elizabeth’s pearl bracelet and the late Princess Diana’s South Sea pearl were worn by Middleton along with her diamond and pearl tiara.
Garbine Muguruza also shared Middleton’s look on her Instagram story. At the very first state banquet that King Charles III hosted at Buckingham Palace, Middleton wore Princess Diana’s tiara. The tiara is decorated with 38 exotic pearls. Middleton has worn it several times in the past during official royal events.
After Queen Elizabeth’s grandmother passed away, the tiara was given to her in 1951. However, in 1981, on Princess Diana’s wedding day, the late Majesty gave the tiara to the young bride. Prince Charles’ royal wedding saw Princess Diana forego the Lover’s Knot tiara in favor of the Spencer tiara from her own family, but she did eventually wear it on numerous occasions. So much so that many people thought of it as her go-to tiara.
