Sentimental accessories

Kate accessorized her yellow ensemble with the same diamond earrings she wore on her April 2011 wedding day: Robinson Pelham drops featuring an oak leaf stud and an acorn within a pear-shaped pendant. The bespoke pieces were a gift from her parents and echo the Middleton family crest.

Tradition, history and a personal milestone

Garter Day at Windsor celebrates Britain’s oldest order of chivalry, with roots traced to King Edward III and tales of King Arthur. The event also recalls Kate’s 2008 debut when William received his Garter knighthood — an early sign of her welcome into the royal fold two years before their engagement.
