Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has recently been stealing the spotlight with her jewelry selections. She is perhaps most famous for sporting a special necklace, decorated with charms representing her three children. Each round charm is engraved with the letters “G,” “C,” and “L.” These letters stand for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. This quick to produce and emotional work inspired, literally surrounding her with memories made of her family, showcasing her deep connection to her kids.
The necklace sparkled at a recent royal engagement. Kate making friends with some local school children at the Craiglockhart Tennis Centre in Edinburgh, the UK’s only International School of Peace. This moment is reminiscent of an earlier time in 2021 when she wore the same outfit during her inaugural trip to the center. The necklace has become one of Kate Middleton’s most personal accessories, linking her past experiences with her present role as a mother.
As it turns out, this outsider charm necklace isn’t the only emotionally significant piece of jewelry in Kate Middleton’s collection. She last wore it in 2022 during a family baking session captured on video in the kitchen of their then-home, Kensington Palace. In that iconic scene, she wasn’t just feeding a baby anymore—she was cementing her place as a badass hands-on mom. She sported an eye-catching gold necklace with a garnet, called the ‘Bali Birthstone Necklace’ from Auree. This nine-carat gold piece commemorates her January birth, making it even more personal.
For the past couple of years, Kate Middleton has often paid tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana with her jewelry selections. For instance, she wore Diana’s diamond and South Sea pearl earrings at the BAFTA Awards in 2019 and donned Diana’s emerald choker during The Earthshot Prize ceremony in Boston in 2022. Such decisions not only honor Diana’s legacy but personify the ongoing nature of family customs.
Further, Kate has shown a love for adding special jewelry to everyday occasions. She was hugely impressive at the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital in Essex. As part of the visit, she displayed with her a unique necklace that has a very powerful connection to her impactful story. She’s changed costumes during the show, but she’s never taken off her Magic Necklace. This reflects her overall deep commitment to wearing pieces that have a strong emotional importance.
Her blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring is an equally potent tribute. This very ring belonged to Prince William’s late mother, Diana. This stunning piece of jewelry deepens the connection forged between our past and today.
