What people are saying
Kate is wearing what I like to call her 'old faithful,'
It has truly become her signature piece of royal jewelry, and it speaks to her constancy as a part of the modern monarchy.
I believe Kate wears this to keep her late mother-in-law’s memory alive,
It’s very much a tribute to Diana.
