The Princess’s fashion also spoke to the style tenets of Princess Diana; particularly her penchant for prairie-esque collars. Her earrings also once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who received them as a wedding present in 1947 from the Hakim of Bahrain. She was often photographed wearing them to galas and other Royal occasions, and sat for a portrait with the jewels in her earlobes in the 1950s. They were also loaned by the Queen to Princess Diana. Catherine also wore her sapphire engagement ring that famously once belonged to Diana.

It’s been a few weeks since we last saw the princess, who has been getting George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte settled into their new home—Forest Lodge, their new home in the English countryside to the west of London. In the last few months, though, Kate has remained active in her duties following a hiatus while she underwent treatment for cancer. Visiting Northern Ireland with Prince William, a center for children’s development in Oxford, and the Royal Air Force (plus, hosting the Trumps), Kate has kept to her well-established fall style. There’s been a lot of fall-ready and royal-coded olive green, country-traversing boots, and power suiting.
Last night’s event was a poignant moment for the mother and son; expect to see more in the coming months as the Royal calendar builds up—with both Princess Catherine and Prince George sure to cut a polished pair.
