Like mother like daughter-in-law: The Duchess of Cambridge is revealed to have borrowed jewellery from the late Princess Diana’s collection for her recent royal tour

Designer Nigel Milne said he was ‘delighted’ to see it being worn again
It is well known that the dazzling sapphire ring presented to the Duchess of Cambridge by Prince William upon their engagement had originally belonged to Diana.
However, it seems that this is not the only thing that Kate has inherited from the Princess of Wales’ jewellery box.

The Duchess was pictured wearing an elegant pearl bracelet during a reception at Berlin’s Clärchens Ballhaus on their final night in the German capital.
Kate, 36, paired the elegant three strand piece with a bird print dress from Markus Lupfer for the event last week.
It has since emerged that the original owner of the accessory was Diana who was spotted wearing the piece on various occasions before her untimely death.
The bracelet’s designer Nigel Milne was surprised to see the jewellery been worn again decades after he created the piece in 1988.
Milne and his wife Cherry decided to produce several pieces of jewellery with proceeds of the sales going to charity BIRTHRIGHT, of which Diana is patron.

One of the pieces was the bracelet that could be seen adorning Kate’s wrist and that Diana wore on several occasions including at the Birthright Ball in 1989 and with her iconic Catherine Walker ‘Elvis’ dress.
On his website the British jeweller writes: ‘I am delighted to see in the national press that the Duchess of Cambridge chose to wear one of her late mother-in-law’s favourite pearl and diamond bracelets on the Royal Tour in Germany last week.

‘This look was very typical of the style of jewellery that we were making at that time. The Princess of Wales was the most wonderful inspiration for us jewellers in that she wore her jewellery with such style and panache.’
It is not uncommon to see the Duchess of Cambridge borrowing from her mother-in-law’s jewellery box having been pictured in a tiara worn by the late princess earlier this month.
For the state banquet held in honour of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain’s visit Kate wore the diamond and pearl Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara a piece beloved by William’s late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
The tiara was made by Royal jewellers Garrard in 1914 to Queen Mary’s personal design, from pearls and diamonds already in her family’s possession.

It was a copy of one owned by her grandmother, Princess Augusta of Hesse, who married the first Duke of Cambridge, seventh son of King George III, in 1818.
In her will Queen Mary left the tiara to to the Queen who wore it frequently, including at an evening event in 1955.
In 1981 she gave it as a wedding present to Prince William’s mother, Diana, who wore it for the first time at the state opening of parliament that November.

Diana also wore the tiara in 1985 on an official visit to Washington with Prince Charles.
