Princess Catherine, also known as the Princess of Wales, has always been known for her impeccable taste in jewelry, especially when it comes to high-profile events.

Throughout the years, she has borrowed several pieces from Queen Elizabeth’s Royal Jewelry Vault.

As she celebrates her 42nd birthday today, it is expected that her adoring family will shower her with opulent gifts.

However, there is one particular diamond set that brought tears to Catherine’s eyes – the coronation necklace and earrings.

These precious jewels were gifted to her by the late monarch from her private collection.

It is anticipated that we will witness Catherine wearing them at special occasions in the near future.

According to an insider, Queen Elizabeth requested a private conversation with Catherine.

During this heartfelt discussion, the Queen personally asked the Princess of Wales to promise that she would wear the coronation set when her husband, Prince William, ascends to the throne.

Although technically owned by the crown, the necklace and pear-shaped earrings have been passed down through generations and hold significant sentimental value.

The coronation set holds great importance to the Queen, who wore it during her own coronation, as did her mother, the Queen Mother, and her grandmother, Queen Mary, when their husbands became kings.

The Queen emphasized to Prince William’s wife that it is only fitting for her to be the next queen to don this iconic jewelry.

In a touching gesture, Catherine received a special gift that reflects her deep admiration for the late Queen Victoria.

This thoughtful present symbolizes the unique bond that had developed between the two over the years.

The late Queen played a pivotal role in Catherine’s globally celebrated wedding to Prince William, gifting her a tiara that signified her approval and welcomed her into the royal family.

Among Queen Elizabeth’s extensive collection of jewelry, the diamond diadem stands out as one of her most recognizable crowns.

The George de Ford State Diadem, also known as the Diamond Diadem, is one of the rarest pieces in the crown jewels collection, boasting an impressive 23,578 gemstones.

According to sources, Princess Catherine is set to inherit Queen Elizabeth II’s prized state diadem, valued at approximately £800,000.

This silver and gold-lined diadem features a narrow band adorned with pearls and topped with full crosses patty and four sprays representing the national emblems of England, shamrocks, and thistles.

It is adorned with 1,333 diamonds, including a stunning four-carat pale yellow brilliant at the center of the front cross.

This symbolic crown holds great significance within the royal collection and is typically worn over a velvet cap, although Queen Elizabeth II preferred to wear it on its own.

If Prince William ascends to the throne in the future, Princess Catherine will have access to these treasured jewels and will share the privilege of wearing them.

Many of the items worn by the Queen were part of her private collection, including the pearl earrings she frequently wore during engagements and various brooches.

By choosing this particular jewelry, Princess Catherine pays tribute to both the late Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana.

It is a touching way for her to honor the two royal women who came before her.

Amidst much speculation about what the Princess of Wales would wear during King Charles III’s coronation, Princess Kate surprised everyone by donning a glittering silver laurel headpiece that closely resembles a tiara.

This choice of accessory further solidifies her tribute to the two influential royal women in her life.

Additionally, she wore the late Queen’s George VI festive necklace, a magnificent three-tiered diamond necklace originally created in 1950 as a gift from King George VI to his daughter, then Princess Elizabeth, before she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
