The Duchess of Cambridge has paid a sweet tribute to Princess Diana with her first appearance on the Caribbean royal tour.
Kate, 40, stepped off the plane in Belize yesterday wearing jewellery that previously belonged to husband Prince William's late mother.
This included sapphire and diamond earrings and a pendant necklace, which are believed to be from Princess Diana's 'sapphire' collection.
The royal mother-of-three previously wore the set to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska in 2020 – suggesting that their reappearance this weekend might also have been a subtle gesture of support for Ukraine.
According to Town & Country, the pieces were given to the princess as a wedding gift from the Saudi royal family in 1981.
The duchess' jewellery gave some sparkle to a cobalt-hued outfit – which appeared to nod to Belize's blue flag – that she stepped out in to disembark from the plane.
