Kate Middleton Wears Prince Philip's Wedding Gift To Queen Elizabeth In Oslo

Kate Middleton recently wore another piece of jewelry from Queen Elizabeth II's vault.

On Thursday, Prince William and Middleton arrived at the Royal Palace in Oslo, Norway for a dinner. The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning in her Alexander McQueen floor-length gown. But aside from her ensemble, she also wore a special accessory from the queen's collection.

According to Express, Middleton's bracelet was Prince Philip's wedding gift to Queen Elizabeth II. The large diamond bracelet was a fitting gift because it features the same diamonds found in the monarch's engagement ring. The stones were taken from a tiara owned by Prince Philip's mother, Princess Alice of Battenburg.

In addition, the Duchess also wore its matching earrings. The monarch was seen wearing the same pieces when she posed for her diamond jubilee photograph.

The publication noted that this was not the first time that Middleton wore the special bracelet. Prince William's wife also used the same accessory during her first state banquet with Chinese president Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan, in October 2015.

Middleton has been spotted wearing different jewelry from the queen's collection. Back in November, Middleton attended the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families (AFNCCF) gala with a diamond bracelet. The diamond Quatrefoil bracelet was handed down to the monarch after her mother's death in 2002.

The queen's mother was seen wearing the same bling in 1958. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth II was also spotted wearing it over her signature white gloves at the State Opening of Parliament in 2010.

When Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary, Middleton showed up with a diamond and pearl choker from the queen's jewelry vault. The four-strand pearl choker has a central diamond. Princess Diana was seen wearing that piece for a state banquet for the Netherlands in 1982.

Middleton complemented the necklace with a pair of Collingwood pearl and diamond earrings, which were a wedding present to Princess Diana. The Duchess wore the same earrings during the state banquet when the Spanish royals visited them.

In related news, Meghan Markle has to wait until after her royal wedding to borrow pieces from the queen's jewelry collection. According to an insider, the pieces in the monarch’s collection are exclusive to the members of the royal family and married women. Thus, the "Suits" can't enjoy the same privilege as Middleton when it comes to accessing Queen Elizabeth II's jewelry at the moment.
