Kate Middleton had the perfect accessory to celebrate two occasions: the Red Roses rugby squad's World Cup win and her recent birthday.
In her first royal outing since celebrating her 44th birthday last week, the Princess of Wales welcomed the England women's rugby team to a Windsor Castle reception on Thursday, Jan. 15. For the occasion, the royal recycled her red Alexander McQueen pantsuit, featuring an asymmetric jacket and wide-leg trousers, which she debuted in January 2023.
She accessorized with pearl cluster earrings and a necklace featuring the red garnet gemstone, her birthstone. The piece has been identified as London-born brand Auree's "Bali" birthstone necklace, which retails for $678.
The necklace has been in Princess Kate's jewelry box for several years. She previously wore it in a video that showed her baking with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, for a Platinum Jubilee lunch in 2022.
The Princess of Wales has other pieces of jewelry containing her birthstone, including a promise ring that Prince William gifted her while they were dating as college students. The sentimental piece contains both pearls, symbolizing William’s June birthday, and garnets, symbolizing Kate’s birthday in January. Princess Kate wore the ring in a 2024 video shared to celebrate Great Britain's Olympic athletes.
