on September 14, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, paid tribute to the late monarch by wearing Her Majesty’s diamond and pearl leaf Brooch, which features three large pearls at the center of a diamond pavé leaf.

It caught the attention of royal style followers again in 2017, though, when the Duchess of Cambridge borrowed it for an appearance in Ypres, Belgium, to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele.The Prince and Princess of Wales joined the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to pay their respects to the Queen.Catherine’s earrings, meanwhile, honored Diana, Princess of Wales— following the Queen’s death on September 8.
