They welcomed guests gathered at the palace for the annual royal event honoring community service and charity work. For the occasion, Kate wore an elegant cream outfit by Self-Portrait and completed the look with historic royal jewelry that holds special family meaning. She completed her look with Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings. <\/p>\n<p>The 44-year-old also wore Diana, Princess of Wales\u2019s famous three-strand pearl bracelet designed by jeweler Nigel Milne. The elegant pearl jewelry added a polished finishing touch to Kate\u2019s garden party outfit. <\/p>\n<p>Catherine has worn both jewelry pieces many times over the years, and royal watchers often praise how carefully she chooses jewelry for important public events.

Kate has also regularly worn Queen Mary\u2019s Lover\u2019s Knot Tiara, another iconic piece closely linked to Diana during her years as Princess of Wales. Earlier this spring, Kate appeared at palace celebrations marking the centenary of the late Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s birth, wearing one of the monarch\u2019s signature pearl necklaces.<\/p>\n<p>Fashion experts have long argued that Kate intentionally references the style of the late Princess Diana, rather than doing so by coincidence. \u201cI think we have seen lots of examples where the reference is very intentional, and I think that Kate uses fashion to pay tribute to Diana in a very positive way,\u201d fashion director Bethan Holt previously told <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/kate-middleton-wears-queen-elizabeth-princess-diana-pearls-first-garden-party-2026-11970640\" id=\"https:\/\/people.com\/kate-middleton-wears-queen-elizabeth-princess-diana-pearls-first-garden-party-2026-11970640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">PEOPLE<\/a>, adding that Prince William remains deeply aware of his mother\u2019s enduring influence as a style icon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Middleton paid a subtle tribute to two of the most influential women in royal history during her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[6912,232,1440,9,24,63,4260,1312,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-227056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-kate-middleton","tag-lifestyle","tag-lifestyle-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-princess-diana","tag-queen-elizabeth-ii","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
