Kate Middleton's favorite jewels are those loaned by Elizabeth II
It is common for the Duchess of Cambridge to wear incredible pieces directly from the jeweler of the British sovereign. These are the most special for her
The looks on Kate's official agenda often hide a gesture, a wink with which she honors a loved one or with which she sends an encrypted message. The references to Lady Di in her outfits, for example, are constant, but not only her ... The queen is always very present in these details, especially now that she is going through a moment of great sadness after the death of her husband . And she is in the jewels that the Duchess of Cambridge usually wears and that are a loan from Elizabeth II.
On May 26, Kate starred in a movie night in Scotland and wore spectacular earrings that the sovereign received as a gift in 1979, from the then Sheikh Rashid of Dubai. They are made of oval sapphires and go with a necklace and a ring that this time were kept in the royal jeweler.
