Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales paid a poignant tribute to The Queen on Monday as she attended her state funeral while wearing one of the late monarch’s own necklaces.

Dressed all in black, the Duchess of Cambridge and Cornwall, added a sweet but solemn nod to her majesty, by wearing her Japanese pearl choker necklace - the very same necklace she had worn to Prince Philip’s funeral last year.The necklace, which was constructed by Garrard, is believed to have been created from a collection of pearls that were gifted to the Queen by the Japanese government in the 1970s, when she made a formal state visit to the country.

According to royal jewellery expert Leslie Field, the necklace was made “from pearls in [the Queen’s] collection” and also features a clasp that is large enough to accommodate an extra strand of pearls if desired.The multi-strand necklace has adorned several royal necks over the years, as the Queen was well known for sharing her jewellery collection with her loved ones.

In November 1982, the Queen famously loaned the choker to the late Princess Diana, who went on to wear it during a state visit from Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
