Kate Middleton pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II by wearing this meaningful piece of jewelry during the traditional Remembrance Sunday ceremony. We will explain everything to you.
This Sunday, November 12took place the ceremony of Remembrance Sunday. Translated by “Remembrance Sunday” in French, it is a day of remembrance for the lives lost during the First World War. Kate Middleton attended from the balcony of the Cenotaph in London, next to Queen Consort Camilla Parker. In the photos we can see that she was wearing earrings that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. Earrings that are part of a set including the Diamond and Pearl Leaf Brooch, a brooch made of three pearls and a leaf and stem covered in diamonds.
However, this jewel raises some questions among the most keen observers. Some believe that this is actually the brooch that was taken apart to become a pair of earrings. Indeed, after wearing this brooch for the first time in 2017, in Belgium for the commemorations of the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele, Kate Middleton wore it a second time in 2018. But this time, the pearls had disappeared to be replaced by poppies, emblem of remembrance of the First World War.

Since then, this flower has been the emblem of commemoration of soldiers and victims of combat. Thus, the royal family never fails to wear them during these ceremonies.
The day before, November 11, 2023, Kate Middleton wore another piece of jewelry that belonged to Elizabeth II. This time it was a pearl necklace, to accessorize her very elegant black look.
