Kate's Royal Sparkle: Queen's Jewels Shine at BAFTA Return
23 Feb
Summary
- Princess Kate wore Queen Elizabeth II's Greville chandelier earrings.
- The Princess made her return to the BAFTA awards after a break.
- Kate also attended a Six Nations rugby match the previous day.
The Princess of Wales, Kate, made a highly anticipated return to the BAFTA awards on Sunday night, appearing alongside Prince William at London's Royal Festival Hall. She chose to recycle a mauve and pink Gucci gown from 2019. This marked her first attendance at the ceremony in three years, following her cancer diagnosis.
Kate accessorized her outfit with a sentimental piece: the Greville chandelier earrings, which previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. These diamond earrings have a storied past, having been gifted to Princess Elizabeth on her wedding day in 1947. The Princess has continued their legacy, wearing them on several notable occasions.
This appearance followed a busy weekend for the Princess. On Saturday, she made a solo public appearance to watch the Six Nations rugby match between England and Ireland at Twickenham. The couple's attendance at the BAFTA awards occurred amidst a period of significant attention for the royal family.
Kate is known for her meaningful jewelry choices, often featuring pieces from her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, and Queen Elizabeth II. Notable items include the Nizam of Hyderabad necklace and Queen Elizabeth's Diamond and Pearl Leaf brooch.
