Kate Middleton honored Queen Elizabeth by wearing the late monarch's Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings at Trooping the Colour 2025 on June 14. She also paid tribute to Princess Diana through her fashion choices.

The Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings were originally a wedding present that Princess Elizabeth received when she married Prince Philip in 1947. Princess Diana had worn these earrings on several occasions during her royal life.

During Trooping the Colour, Kate Middleton showcased Queen Elizabeth's earrings, which she had also worn to a British Fashion Council event in May. The earrings were crafted with pearls from a wedding gift given to Princess Elizabeth by the Hakim of Bahrain, along with round diamond studs and baguette-cut diamonds in an Art Deco style.

Kate Middleton has been wearing these earrings as a way to honor Queen Elizabeth since the monarch's passing. Pearls hold a special significance as they are traditionally worn in mourning and are closely associated with Queen Elizabeth's personal jewelry legacy.

British jeweler Claudia Bradby noted that the earrings have a subtle and elegant look, making them a powerful symbol of connection to the Queen. Kate Middleton has been the exclusive wearer of these earrings since 2016, showcasing them on various occasions.

In addition to honoring Queen Elizabeth, Kate Middleton also paid tribute to Princess Diana by wearing a coatdress by Diana's favorite designer, Catherine Walker, which echoed a past look of the late Princess of Wales.
