Princess Kate is renowned for her style and elegance around the globe and has access to the finest of jewels. The Princess of Wales has been spotted in pieces worth tens of thousands of pounds, including a stunning Cartier Halo tiara and Bahrahnaian pearl earrings – which were once worn by Queen Elizabeth II. But one of the most treasured pieces in her personal collection is the Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Earrings.
These are significant to the 43-year-old royal as she first debuted them back in 2018 at Prince Louis’s Christening. Meanwhile, it has been reported that she has worn these more than any other earrings in her possession. Despite being the Queen in waiting, Kate has always made it clear that her family come first.
While she is committed to her royal duties, she has emphasised that her children are her number one priority. The earrings symbolise her family unit as they were purchased for her youngest child’s christening. And it has been suggested that Princess Kate and Prince William will not be adding any more to their brood as in 2023, she shut down speculation.
Princess Kate made a telling admission at a second-hand baby clothes charity organisation.
Rebecca Mistry, who was helping out at the Baby Bank, told Kate that many people felt the desire to have a baby when they saw the tiny baby clothes, and she reportedly answered: “I’ve been there and done that.”
Kate’s earrings retail for £5,620 and are made from 18ct yellow gold. The design features pearl and diamond clusters which are said to be inspired by baskets of fruit.
However, Kate has continued to wear them on repeat over the past seven years. To date, she has worn them on 12 separate occasions but her most recent public engagement was poignant.
Back in June she delighted fans and attended Trooping the Colour which was her first appearance following her cancer diagnosis.
Instead of choosing jewels that were steeped in British history relating directly to the monarchy, which she often does, she chose a piece that paid tribute to her children and family.
Princess Kate wore the earrings along with a Jenny Packham outfit and a matching Philip Treacy hat.
This came as a shock as it was thought she would wear a bright green ensemble, in honour of her appointment as Colonel of the Irish Guards.
She arrived at the Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall in a horse and carriage with children George, 10, Charlotte, nine, and Louis, seven, waving at onlookers who were thrilled to see the Princess out.
