But it was in 2026 that the Princess of Wales truly made pearl jewellery<\/a> her own \u2013 indeed, she made a touching tribute to Princess Diana, wearing the three-strand pearl bracelet once owned by her late mother-in-law. Designed by Nigel Milne and his wife, Cherry, the bracelet was perhaps most famously worn by Prince William\u2019s mother on her 1989 tour of Hong Kong<\/a> with the then-Prince Charles<\/a>. Diana paired the piece (which was created as a set to fundraise for the BIRTHRIGHT charity, for which the Princess acted as patron) with her \u2018Elvis\u2019 dress and jacket by Catherine Walker.<\/p>\n

Catherine has truly made the bracelet her own, wearing it to the wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling earlier this month. Indeed, pearls have swiftly become a staple for the Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales also wore pearls in January, when the Princess welcomed the England Women’s Rugby team to Windsor<\/a> Castle to celebrate their World Cup win over Canada last September. In addition to her striking red Alexander McQueen trouser suit, Catherine wore a pair of vintage earrings, featuring a cluster of dazzling white pearls. The Princess of Wales is known to put much thought into the symbolic import of her jewellery, with many reading her love of pearls as a way of keeping her husband, Prince William<\/a>, close to her heart on solo engagements: the gem is, after all, the Prince of Wales<\/a>‘ birthstone.<\/p>\n

The Princess first wore the earrings on a visit to HMP Styal in February 2025<\/a>. The timing of the outing led some commentators to question whether the jewels might have been a present marking Catherine’s birthday just a few weeks before. A chance to wear some more historical pearls came in March, when the Princess of Wales joined her husband at Westminster<\/a> Abbey for a Commonwealth Day service with King Charles, Queen Camilla<\/a>, Princess Anne<\/a>, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester<\/a>. Catherine looked resplendent in a vintage five-strand<\/a> pearl necklace, a personal piece rather than a royal heirloom. Pearls were also front and centre on Catherine’s royal trip to Italy in May, her first since the announcement of her cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But it was in 2026 that the Princess of Wales truly made pearl jewellery her own \u2013 indeed,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":498815,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,43,11261,7651,4827,23714],"class_list":["post-498814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-princess-charlotte","tag-princess-diana","tag-royals","tag-the-princess-of-wales"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=498814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/498815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=498814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=498814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=498814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
