Kate Middleton Wears Queen Elizabeth's Signature Pearl Necklace at Buckingham Palace Lunch Kate Middleton is walking in Queen Elizabeth's fashion footsteps.
The Princess of Wales joined Prince William, King Charles, Queen Camilla and more members of the royal family on Saturday for a lunch reception at Buckingham Palace. They hosted governors-general of the Commonwealth nations who traveled to London for the late monarch's state funeral on Monday.
Kate, 40, paid homage to Queen Elizabeth in her jewelry choices. She wore a three-strand pearl necklace that belonged to the Queen, Buckingham Palace confirms. The necklace was a go-to piece for the record-breaking monarch.
