Kate Middleton wears pearl necklace worn by Princess Diana, the Queen
The Princess of Wales was spotted wearing an iconic piece of jewellery, that paid tribute to two very special royal women.
Attending the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton wore a necklace which was once borrowed by Princess Diana and worn by the Queen.
The new Princess of Wales was seen wearing the four-strand pearl choker which also featured a diamond clasp, in what appeared to be a subtle tribute to the late monarch.
Kate previously borrowed the stunning piece from Queen Elizabeth, and was seen in the necklace during the late monarch’s 70th wedding anniversary celebration at Windsor Castle in 2017.
The necklace was also worn by Princess Diana during a royal banquet held at Hampton Court Palace in 1982. The Queen then wore the piece a year later, while on a royal engagement in Bangladesh.
According to Today, the necklace is made with pearls gifted to the Queen from the Japanese government.

The Duchess of Wales arrived at Westminster Abbey with Camilla, Queen Consort and her two eldest children, Princess Charlotte of Wales and Prince George of Wales.
The royal looked sombre in an all-black ensemble that included a veiled hat.
Meanwhile, Prince William walked with the gun carriage which saw the Queen’s coffin moved from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey. King Charles III led the procession, which was also attended by Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
They were followed by Prince William and Prince Harry, and Peter Phillips (Princess Anne’s son).
