The Jewelry That Kate Middleton Inherited From Princess Diana

As Marie Claire reported in 2021, there were two women who primarily got to inherit the jewelry of Diana, Princess of Wales, after her 1997 death: her two daughters-in-law (both of whom became so after her death). That turned out to be Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, and Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry. As she stated in her will, “I would like you to allocate all my jewelry to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it. I leave the exact division of the jewelry to your discretion.” Among these notable items of jewelry that made Diana so stunning include earrings, bracelets, and chic headdresses.

Since inheriting the jewelry, Kate hasn’t been afraid to show off the best of the jewels. In 2019, for instance, she was spotted wearing Diana’s diamond and pearl earrings at the BAFTA Awards. A few years before, during a royal tour in Germany in 2017, Kate was seen sporting one of Diana’s favorite pearl bracelets, per Good Housekeeping. Perhaps most notably, she was seen wearing Diana’s iconic “Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara” in public for the first time in 2015 at a reception at Buckingham Palace. The queen loaned the tiara to Diana in 1981 as a pre-wedding gift upon Diana’s engagement to Charles.
