Kate Middleton Wore Queen Elizabeth's Pearl Earrings

Duchess Kate always has enviable style. And we're big fans of her jewelry collection too.

The duchess stepped out twice this past weekend, both times to honor Remembrance Day, which pays tribute to all of the service people who lost their lives during war and conflict. Though Kate kept her outfits chic and simple on both occasions, the duchess accessorized with two pairs of stunning pearl earrings.

As noted by @cambridgesfan on Twitter, Kate borrowed two sets of pearl earrings from the queen. For her appearance at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday night, Duchess Kate opted for the queen's pearl and diamond studs. The following morning, Kate wore Queen Elizabeth's Bahrain pearl drop earrings for the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London.

As the website Her Majesty's Jewel Vault noted, this isn't the first time Kate has borrowed the queen's Bahrain pearls. The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted wearing the precious jewels during Trooping the Colour 2019 and at previous Remembrance Sunday services. Clearly, the duchess is a fan of the classic pearls.
