Prince William has given Kate Middleton his mother Princess Diana’s favourite earrings.
William presented Kate with Diana’s beloved engagement ring last November, and has now given her the matching diamond and sapphire earrings.
“Now they’re married, William wanted her to have some of his mother’s favourite pieces,” a courtier told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.

Diana adored the earrings, and was photographed wearing them hundreds of times throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Kate had the famous studs remodelled to make them drop earrings, and wore them for the first time when she watched Andy Murray play in Wimbledon’s centre court in June. She also wore the precious jewels during her recent tour of Canada and America.
William and Kate recently moved into a “modest” two-bedroom cottage at Kensington Palace. They will live in the cosy house until they decide on a more permanent London base.

They are believed to be considering the palace’s lavish Apartment 1a, the 19-room suite that was last occupied by Princess Margaret.
William was believed to be keen to move into Apartments 8 and 9, the former marital home of Charles and Diana where he and Harry grew up, but Kate was reportedly uncomfortable with the idea.
