It was supposed to be a solemn, historic commemoration — but leave it to Princess Catherine to turn Westminster Abbey into a runway of royal elegance. At the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the Princess of Wales stunned the crowd not only with her poised grace but with a glittering tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

And yes… the sound you hear? That’s the imaginary flying plates from Montecito, as insiders joke that Meghan Markle is fuming from across the pond.

Catherine’s Subtle Yet Powerful Tribute

Dressed in a timeless black-and-white Alessandra Rich polka-dot gown paired with a chic Juliet Botterill fascinator, Catherine looked every bit the royal style icon. But it was her jewelry that made headlines: the Collingwood pearl earrings once beloved by Princess Diana.

Gifted to Diana by the Spencer family before her 1981 wedding, the earrings became one of her signature pieces. By choosing them for this moment, Catherine offered a graceful nod to Diana’s memory — showing the world how to honor tradition with dignity and heart.

Fans online gushed: “This is Catherine at her best — elegance, symbolism, and respect rolled into one look.”
