They're the same, the pendant pearls are from another pair of earrings. The version with the smaller pearls suits Kate's more delicate style. Thanks for the photos, Peeds, I noticed the earrings right away.
So - “ same but different”? 😹 Yes, indeed.  |

The top portion is exactly the same. I’m not sure Kate sound wear such a close copy of something her MIL wore?

They look very similar except the pearl is smaller.
Different size, different drop, AND completely different attachment (I don’t know the term). I much prefer Kate’s!  The metal/diamond part is from one earing set (Diana top/left) and the pearl drop from the other (Diana-bottom/left). Kate combined both into the earrings she is wearing. |

They are Diana’s earrings and pearls. Not a copy. She just switched the pearls to better suit her style. They are her/Williams earrings now along with other pieces she wears from Diana.  |

I’ve had a close look.  They are completely different??? Diana’s have a “fern frond” division in the top part and what look to be sapphires. Kate’s is different and no colour. Diana’s drop chain incorporates a sapphire. The claw and pearl are of course completely different. Fave jeweller clearly made both pairs. Or maybe I am seeing things!!! |

The photos aren't the best, but there were no sapphires in the original form. I think what Kate's done is remove the emerald cut diamond and chain along with the bigger pearl, using just the top part. I see what you mean about the fronds, I think the photo angles are giving that appearance, though. I don't know why she would have copies made unless they were bequeathed to someone else and Kate wanted a copy. Seems unlikely to me. Sorry to hijack the thread, maybe we should move this to one of Kate's fashion threads? |

Lovely gesture by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to invite Arthur and his wife, Martha, to travel in their carriage. Arthur lost both his parents during the pandemic. His father, Lord Vestey, would often ride in the Queen's carriage. #royal #RoyalAscot2022

Miss is for never married, perhaps. I think after a certain age it's Ms. instead of Miss as well. I'm in my 30s and never married and I use Ms. and that's how most formal things like wedding invitations are addressed to me now. |

Kate is giving me My Fair Lady vibes. I'd be so terrible at Ascot, I sweat way too much for the dress code!
I find the dress to be sooo Pretty Woman with the colours and morals reversed! I love the look! Pretty Woman was my first thought too - maybe a dig at someone else’s PW effort at the polo?  I am getting strong MIL vibes too. |

I'm in my 30s and never married and I use Ms. and that's how most formal things like wedding invitations are addressed to me now. When Ms was first coined, it was for married women who had kept their maiden name - so no longer a Miss (unmarried) but not Mrs (as in “wife of”). In this case it would be because she is still using her married name, but no longer married. It has definitely morphed now into more broad use, especially for older, never married women. |
