Princess Kate joined in on a family birthday celebration with some sentimental family jewelry, which is an understatement when the ‘family party’ is the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday celebration and the ‘sentimental family jewelry’ are a selection of the late Queen’s most beloved royal jewels. Buckingham Palace was full of Royal Family members, volunteers from the late Queen’s patronages, and other centenarians marking their own birthdays for a celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s historic reign.
The Princess of Wales channeled her late grandmother-in-law in a lavender dress, reportedly designed by Emilia Wickstead, accessorizing with Queen Elizabeth II’s iconic triple-strand pearl necklace and Bahrain pearl drop earrings. The pastel purple hue looked like it was taken straight from the late monarch’s closet, featuring expert tailoring in a classically-cut style. The bright hue was easily spotted amongst the sea of guests, echoing the late Queen’s sentiment that she must be seen to be believed.
