Princess Kate turned heads in a glittering ensemble as she stepped out alongside her husband, Prince William, at the state banquet held at Windsor Castle on Tuesday — but it was her show-stopping earrings that truly stole the spotlight.
The 43-year-old royal dazzled in the Greville Diamond Chandelier Earrings, which perfectly embodied vintage glamour. Featuring a cascading silhouette and set in platinum, the design boasts an elaborate, articulated drop crafted from a mix of diamond cuts, including baguette and brilliant stones.
Originally part of a historic bequest to the Queen Mother and later worn by Queen Elizabeth II, these earrings carry a legacy of elegance now reimagined for a modern royal — and are reportedly worth over £85,000.
