Do they manage to wear jewelry like royalty? Let's take a look together.
Diana's jewelry on Kate Middleton
William's wife was the first to wear Diana's jewelry.
Ring and earrings with sapphires
One of Diana's most famous jewelry is magnificent large sapphire ring. It was this that Prince William gave to Kate for her engagement 8 years ago.
Along with the ring, the bride received chic earrings with sapphires, which also previously belonged to Princess Diana.
Tiara
The Duchess of Cambridge also received luxurious tiara called “Knots of Love”.
Reference! The decoration consists of large diamonds and pear-shaped pearls.
Kate puts it on only for the most important social events, where all members of the royal family gather.
Pearl choker
Another pearl jewelry that Prince William's wife received was a choker. In the late 80s it was trendy, and now, 30 years later, it is vintage.
A unique pearl choker with a large diamond clasp fits perfectly into the sophisticated looks of the Duchess of Cambridge.
Important! Kate Middleton's style is often compared to Diana's, noting their shared love for elegant and sophisticated outfits.
It is not at all surprising that the late princess’s jewelry fits so well into the images of William’s wife.
Meghan Markle wearing Diana's jewelry
Having adopted the image of Kate wearing William's mother's jewelry, the British were interested in what Meghan Markle would get.
Ring with aquamarine
According to British traditions, every bride should have a blue accessory in her wedding look. Such an item for Meghan Markle was a ring with a large aquamarine, which was often seen on Diana before.
Diamonds in a wedding ring
In addition, the diamonds used to create Meghan's engagement ring also came from the late princess's jewelry.
Stones have found a second life in a new jewelry design, which completely suits the bold style of the newly minted Duchess of Sussex.
Earrings
During a trip to Australia, Meghan Markle was spotted wearing gold earrings with diamonds in the shape of neat butterflies. The British remember that Diana loved to wear them. Perhaps this is a tribute to her mother-in-law.After all, she often wore this jewelry during her long trips.
Bracelet
The Duchess of Sussex also inherited from Princess Diana an elegant gold bracelet, which was repeatedly seen on the hands of both women.
Are Kate and Meghan worthy heirs?
Thanks to her exquisite taste and sophisticated style, Diana made not only her personal jewelry famous throughout the world, but also the jewelry of the royal family.
Both young women wear the jewelry they inherited. However, some subtleties cannot be ignored.
Kate Middleton is a worthy successor to this legacy, a real lady, a new British style icon.
Important! Kate is the wife of the future king, so she has free access to all the court decorations: from rings to tiaras.
Can't boast about this Meghan Markle. Since she is the wife of the princess's youngest son, she have to be content with only personal jewelry the late Diana. Megan does not wear royal tiaras, which at various times could be seen even on Elizabeth II.
After her engagement and marriage, American Megan's style changed significantly towards restraint, sophistication and modest elegance. But she never became a style icon. She lost this unofficial but honorable title to the native Englishwoman Kate Middleton.
