During the coronation of King Charles III, when choosing jewels, Kate Middleton - the new Princess of Wales - chose to pay homage to Lady Diana and Queen Elizabeth II.

<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/kate-middleton-wears-queen-pearls-elizabeth-ii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Middleton</a> 's decision to wear the jewels that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana during the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla has aroused the interest of many fashion, costume and monarchy enthusiasts.
The new Princess of Wales ' choice of jewels demonstrates her deep respect and admiration for the two women who have had a significant impact on British history and beyond.
In particular, the Festoon Necklace was an important choice for Kate, as it was often worn by Queen Elizabeth II on many special occasions during her long reign. Created in 1950 for the then Princess Elizabeth, it features three strands of diamonds and was worn by the Queen on many occasions during her reign. Kate also wore the pearl and diamond drop earrings that belonged to <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/princess-diana-royal-portrait-dress-1991-sothebys-auction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a> , who wore them to many formal occasions in the 1990s.
Over the years, Kate has not only chosen to honor Diana's memory through jewels, but has also celebrated the Princess' style through fashion, re-proposing some of her most iconic looks. Furthermore, as many already know, her famous sapphire engagement ring (given to her in 2010 by her husband, Prince William) is one of the clearest symbols of how closely the two women are - albeit unintentionally - connected.

This is how gems, diamonds and simple ornaments can speak. Kate pays tribute to history with jewels that tell the story of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana. Two women who will forever remain in the hearts of each of us.

Kate also wore a Jess Collett x <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/alexander-mcqueen-iconic-runway-shows-designer-lee-mcqueen-fashion-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexander McQueen</a> headpiece featuring three-dimensional embroidery of silver leaves, crystals and silver thread. This ornament, combined with the one sported by little Princess Charlotte, completed Kate's look and represents a perfect example of how tradition and innovation can be mixed in an elegant and modern way.
Ultimately, Kate's choice of jewelery demonstrates her great respect and admiration for the British monarchy and its traditions, but at the same time shows her ability to put a personal and modern touch into her regal look.
