Kate Middleton has arrived at Westminster Abbey ahead of the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla, a hugely historic event, so it's no wonder the Princess of Wales chose to pay touching tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana with her choice of jewellery.
To pay tribute to the two royal women who came before her, the Princess of Wales wore the late Queen's George VI Festoon necklace, three tiers of stunning diamonds which was originally created in 1950 as a gift from King George VI to his daughter, then Princess Elizabeth before being crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
Kate also honoured Princess Diana by wearing her pearl and diamond earrings, which she's worn many times before.

The Princess of Wales wore formal regal robes and a deep blue Royal Victorian Order mantle edged in scarlet – at the request of the King and Queen – over an embroidered silk dress by Alexander McQueen. She didn't opt for a tiara or flower crown, but a crystal and silver bullion leaf headpiece by Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen. The embroidery work of rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock symbolised the four nations of the UK. Princess Charlotte dressed the same in an adorable mini-me moment, matching her mother in an ivory Alexander McQueen dress with the same floral embroidery and Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpiece.
Kate and Charlotte were of course accompanied by Prince William, Prince George and Prince Louis.
Yesterday (5th May), Kate Middleton also paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth while attending a Buckingham Palace lunch to welcome governors-general and prime ministers to the realm who have travelled to London ahead of the crowning ceremony. The Princess of Wales wore Queen Elizabeth's Bahrain pearl drop earrings, the same pair she wore to her state funeral in September last year. She paired the family heirlooms with a white Jenny Packham dress, one of her favorite designers, and slingback pumps by Aquazzura.
These royal titles can get a little complicated…
