Kate Middleton continues royal duties amid Meghan Markle’s possible UK return\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton has continued her royal duties despite the estranged Duchess of Sussex’s possible return to the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales had the perfect accessory to celebrate two occasions: the Red Roses rugby squad’s World Cup win and her recent birthday. <\/p>\n

In her first royal outing since celebrating her 44th birthday last week, Her Royal Highness also welcomed the England women\u2019s rugby team to a Windsor Castle reception on January 15. <\/p>\n

During her engagement, she accessorized with pearl cluster earrings and a necklace featuring the red garnet gemstone, her birthstone. <\/p>\n

The piece has been identified as a London-born brand, Auree’s “Bali” birthstone necklace, which retails for $678. <\/p>\n

Notably, she previously wore it in a video that showed her baking with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, for a Platinum Jubilee lunch in 2022. <\/p>\n

This update comes after several media reports claimed that Prince Harry\u2019s wife is possibly returning to the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n

According to a royal commentator, Shane Watson, the Duchess of Sussex has started 2026 on a strong note, and the possibility of her UK return has increased. <\/p>\n

Kinsey Schofield, host of\u00a0Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, told Fox News Digital that the Suits alum will only return to the U.K. if she\u2019s assured of receiving automatic armed security. <\/p>\n
