Princess Kate Wears Diana’s Collingwood Earrings at Remembrance Sunday Service
The Princess of Wales paired Diana’s Collingwood pearl earrings with symbolic poppies and a regimental brooch to honor military service.
- On Sunday, the Princess of Wales, Catherine Middleton, honoured the fallen at the Cenotaph wearing Diana's Collingwood Pearl Drop Earrings and the HMS Glasgow brooch. Three poppies pinned to her black Catherine Walker coat marked a deliberate, meaningful tribute.
- Diana debuted the Collingwood pearl-and-diamond earrings in June 1981, famously wearing them with her iconic black 'revenge dress' in 1994. Middleton's repeated selection of these heirlooms links her public role to royal lineage and historical resonance.
- At Saturday's Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, Middleton wore Queen Elizabeth II's diamond Orbital earrings. She observed the ceremony alongside Queen Camilla while the royal family honoured military personnel through personal stories and musical tributes.
- Royal observers note the three poppies on Middleton's coat are said to symbolize the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force. The HMS Glasgow brooch, created by James Porter & Son, reflects her role as the vessel's Lady Sponsor.
- Next week, Prince William will travel to India for the annual Earthshot Prize. Kensington Palace has not confirmed whether Middleton will join him, though attendance would mark her second overseas engagement since completing cancer treatment.
