Princess Kate has honored the mother-in-law she never met, Princess Diana, in a number of ways through the years. Whether it's channeling the late princess in a very similar mint green blazer or wearing Diana's iconic sapphire engagement ring, Kate has paid numerous fashion tributes to the People's Princess. On March 10, the Princess of Wales wore Diana's beloved Collingwood Pearl Earrings—a pair Kate has worn to several royal events—to the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey. However, a close-up photo of the royal's left ear reveals a worrying detail.
The large pearl drop earrings feature diamond caps and hang from two diamond studs, but zooming in on a picture from Commonwealth Day, it's clear that one of the stones above the pearl drop is missing. Whether it fell out en route to the ceremony or the Princess of Wales was aware that the stone was missing is anyone's guess, but it seems the historic jewels will be in need of a swift repair.
