Kate Middleton Honors Princess Diana & Queen Elizabeth with Coronation Jewelry
Kate Middleton surprised royal watchers at Saturday's historic coronation of her father-in-law King Charles III!
The 41-year-old honored Princess Diana by wearing pearl-and-diamond earrings that belonged to her late mother-in-law, and paid homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II by wearing her George VI Festoon Necklace. The necklace was created in 1950 for Elizabeth when she was a princess, at the behest of her father, King George VI.
Just three years later, George had died and Elizabeth was crowned Queen of England, reigning an incredible 70 years.

People magazine reports Kate decided to wear the piece just weeks ago. Sweetly, her daughter Princess Charlotte wore a matching headpiece!
Kate wore McQueen to her 2011 wedding, and wore McQueen again Saturday, looking radiant in an ivory silk crepe dress with elaborate embroidery.
