News and photos Prince and Princess of Wales

I do love this color on her, and it's nice to see that - as far as I know - she is not "theme" or "tribute" dressing in this look as I don't think raspberry/plum colors are really associated with South Africa.

Oh Kate  love William's matching tie too!

She walked very confidently, but noticed how she resorted to her old comfort of clutching her clutch purse in front of her prior to the anthem (that's OK, I'd be nervous as heck too!).

Love, love, love the jewel tone on her, and the shade really helped make the PoW brooch 'pop' with the green jewel at the bottom

I agree. This is a flattering colour for her and it’s not matching the SA flag. She did well!

State Visit



The Princess of Wales is wearing The Princess of Wales’ Feather Brooch 💎

It was firstly made for Queen Alexandra as a wedding gift in 1863. It was passed down and The Queen Mother then gave this brooch to Princess Diana when she got engaged to Prince Charles in 1981 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I imagine the days are long gone when the ladies of a region raise money to buy jewelry for a member of the royal family.  (I also assume the days are long gone when a family will bequest their jewels to the royal family, such as the Greville jewelry.)

I wonder what else besides this and the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara was "crowdfunded" in this way?

I do love seeing brooches!!

I'm happy to see her wearing the brooch today and at a high profile event. I wonder if she'll choose to wear it as a necklace pendant like her late mother-in-law did? As far as I can recall, Camilla only wore it as a brooch.

How strange if Camilla has publicly worn a brooch that was Diana’s engagement present -  Anyone recall the occasions?

It is thought it was returned to Charles and/or TRF after Diana’s death. Camilla wore it first in 2006 per this link below.

Kate looks very beautiful but I have always felt that those earrings were odd looking. Didn't like them on Diana either. I wonder why Kate never wears them with the same pearl pendants Diana did.

[Cordelia Fitzgerald]

Are these the same earrings she wore to the Remembrance Sunday balcony appearance?

I’m guessing she doesn’t like the big gaudy (my opinion  ) pearls or they are too round?

I like the look but I wish she wore a little pendant necklace or something.. It looks like there's something missing from her look.

The big gaudy pearl drops were in fashion when Diana wore them. I thin Kate was wise to change them for smaller pearls, otherwise the earrings would look very dated.

CF, I believe they are the same earrings she wore on Remembrance Sunday. They are much better suited to this occasion.

Wow - it was a personal gift so I think it was tin-eared for Camilla to wear it.

Yes - agree that considering it was an engagement present to Diana not really appropriate for Cam to wear it. but fine for Kate to IMO.
