Kate Middleton looked as radiant as ever on Wednesday evening, as she attended a state banquet at Windsor Castle hosting U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a sheer gold gown, paired with the Lover’s Knot tiara, which she’s worn on several occasions – including to the State Banquet for the French President earlier this year – alongside a special pair of earrings that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.
Impressed, diamond experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have examined these stunning earrings in detail, uncovering every exquisite facet of their design.


“The Princess of Wales dazzled in a breathtaking pair of earrings that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. Each piece features brilliant-cut diamonds arranged in a floral and orbital motif, with a larger central stone anchoring the base of each pendant – a design that evokes both eternal elegance and the enduring legacy of the monarchy.
The floral pattern symbolises grace and renewal, while the orbit-like arrangement suggests unity, continuity, and the far-reaching influence of the crown. Perfectly suited for grand state occasions, lavish banquets, and ceremonial events, these earrings allow Kate to pair them effortlessly with tiaras and other treasured heirlooms.
A true emblem of regal sophistication, this glittering pair are likely to be worth an astonishing £100,000.”
