Just as Diana did more than 40 years ago, Kate accessorized with emeralds and diamonds. While Diana chose a choker-style necklace, Kate opted for a bracelet and matching earrings on loan fromQueen Elizabeth. Last seen on the Queen when she welcomed Barack Obama to the U.K in 2011, the jewelry is from the monarch’s Emerald Tassel Suite (which also includes a necklace), first worn during a state visit from the United Arab Emirates in 1989.
