Duchess Catherine: During the shoot, she wears very special earrings

Duchess Catherine
The hidden message behind her earrings

Regardless of the occasion, the jewelry of the royals is (almost) always something special. No wonder that Duchess Catherine, 40, also uses very special top-class figures in her portraits on the occasion of her 40th birthday. Because they have a hidden meaning.

Three looks with special meaning

The first photo shows the mother of three in an Alexander McQueen dress. In England, the 40th birthday is also known as the “ruby anniversary”. In keeping with the occasion, Kate’s first dress is ruby ​​red. Her wedding dress was also from Alexander McQueen – so the red one-shoulder dress must be something special for her. By the way, she borrowed her jewelry for this look from Queen Elizabeth, 95.

In the other two pictures, the Duchess wears two white dresses: a tulle dress with a boat neckline and a flounce dress. But much more important than her clothes are her earrings. Because they once belonged to Princess Diana, † 36. By wearing the earrings, Catherine gives them and above all the deceased mother of her husband once again a special meaning.

“A moment of pure joy”

Paolo Roversi, photographer of the enchanting pictures, also found clear words to “Mirror” for the shoot with Duchess Kate: “The portrait of Your Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge, was a real honor and a moment of pure joy for me.”

I was touched by her warmth and friendly greeting and enchanted by her shining eyes that reflected the loveliness of her soul and her smile that showed the generosity of her heart.

Kate’s photos will be part of the National Portrait Gallery’s Coming Home exhibition. They are on display in Berkshire, London, where Duchess Catherine grew up and met Prince William, 39.
