Jewellery once owned by Princess Diana was given a royal outing last night when Kate Middleton donned the items for the 2021 Festival of Remembrance.

The Duchess of Cambridge, 39, paid tribute to the late Princess Diana by wearing her Collingwood Pearl Earrings and a Three Strand Pearl Bracelet with an Eponine London dress.

According to Heart.co.uk, Princess Diana wore the bracelet during a 1989 tour of Hong Kong as she attended a royal engagement.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been wearing the bracelet regularly over the years, including the G-7 summit earlier this year.

Kate has been hailed by a royal expert as the "the most powerful person in the royal family".

Royal expert Camilla Tominey, a journalist and broadcaster, told the Daily Express: "When it comes to their generation, you could say [Kate and Prince William] are ruling the royal roost."

Kate was attending the 2021 Festival of Remembrance, held at the Royal Albert Hall in London, last night along with her husband Prince William, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.
