YES.. i'm AMAZED.. HMQ doesn't lend significant PERSONAL jewels very often at all !
a very big thing
I love her bling tonight! i prefer the halo tiara to be fair, but the lotus is absolutely more approriate for tonight...Not a fan of the earrings though.
From what I understand, the earrings are the Queen's diamond chandelier earrings. Kate has worn them before; once in Los Angeles, I believe, and also when she attended the Diplomatic Reception in 2013.
I agree she lots gorgeous. I feel like the pictures don't do the dress enough justice though she's beautiful in it.
Yes, I knew that she had already worn them before, thank you Still not my cup of tea
Catherine's jewels are stunning. She looks fantastic. The bracelets and earrings are just as beautiful as the tiara.
At long last! It's wonderful to see Catherine wearing a tiara with proper, full pictures! I was worried earlier we may only have seen the dreaded "arriving in a car" shot. The whole ensemble is quite understated but all the sparkles of the tiara and earnings (and the dress) really make up for it!
The RFO is made of ivory. Given William's public stance on the issue she will probably never wear one by her own choosing. When William becomes King he can change the material they are made from.
And just speculating... The queen may well be aware of the potential for Kate and William to be called on that in the press and it may have been discussed. Perhaps she showed her approval of and relationship with Kate through other means this evening: the very significant loan of her wedding bracelet.

If the Queen really wanted the Duchess to wear one she would change the material if that was an issue. The Duchess belongs to another generation than the rest of the family that has received the order. Her time will come.The RFO is made of ivory.

Couldn't the RFO order be recycled from a previous wearer? I would imagine that Queen Mum's RFO from QEII would have gone back to the vaults. Would William or Harry have Princess Diana's RFO from QEII?
