It was one of many nods to Princess Diana on Remembrance Day.

This weekend, Kate Middleton made his triumphant return to royal duty after completing chemotherapy with two major Remembrance Day events. And while she paid tribute to the fallen soldiers of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth with her red poppy pin, the rest of her accessories were a tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, including her engagement in sapphire, which she has not worn publicly for almost 20 years. one year.

Middleton’s appearances have been rare amid her battle with cancer, and on the rare occasions she has stepped aside, the Princess of Wales has visibly swapped her engagement ring for a group of eternity in his place. But on Saturday (and again on Sunday), Middleton brought back the iconic ring for the first time since Christmas 2023 along with a few other pieces from Diana’s jewelry box.

First, the royal attended the Festival of Remembrance with her sapphire and diamond ring on full display, along with a pair of Bahrain pearl earrings and a matching pendant necklace that belonged to Princess Diana . Meanwhile, for Remembrance Sunday the following day, Middleton once again paid tribute to the late monarch with the same jewelry and her Catherine Walker black retro coat dress-one of Diana’s favorite designers.

Diana is remembered not only through Kate’s style, but also musically at the Royal Albert Hall. During the Festival of Remembrance concert, Middleton and her husband, Prince William, I became visibly emotional as the orchestra began to play “Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer” – an anthem that was originally played at Princess Diana’s funeral and which became a symbolic way for her sons to remember their mother, as both played the song on their wedding day.
