The Queen’s jewelry worn by Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle
Managing to put their differences aside, Kate, William, Meghan and Harry appeared united before the Queen’s subjects a few days ago, which represented a strong symbol, after months of quarrel and estrangement between brothers and sisters-in-law. On September 14, although they arrived in separate cars, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle appeared together, following each other closely in Westminster Hall, dressed in similar outfits as when they reunited and both wearing the Queen’s jewels or gifts from the late sovereign. Kate Middleton, new Princess of Wales as her stepmother was Lady Dianawore earrings belonging to the sovereign Elizabeth II. Prince William’s wife was dressed in a long black dress topped with a fine coat, the buttonhole of which was pinned one of the most famous brooches of Queen Elizabeth II, composed of three leaves, underlined in yellow gold and bearing in their center a pearl marbled with small diamonds. As Gala points out, this is not the first time that Kate Middleton wears this brooch, the previous one was in 2017. The Queen Elizabeth II herself had only worn it once, in South Korea, in 1999 according to our colleagues. As Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle also wore a very sober outfit also consisting of a black dress and coat, dark tights and a bag carried in her hand, as well as pearls offered by Queen Elizabeth on her ears.
Although they hardly exchanged a glance, the two sisters-in-law wore a black fascinator topped with a veil, which they were the only ones in the royal family to wear. Twhile Meghan Markle had her hair up in a bun, as usual, Kate Middleton had let go of her long hair, under her hat. Very dignified and sober, the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex managed to attract attention without jostling, and without the shadow of competition, which would have been particularly badly seen by the British, given the circumstances.
