Kate Middleton loves to make a statement with her accessories.

On Thursday, the Princess of Whales joined the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey for a service celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, a day to remember the end World War II in Europe.

For the ceremony, Middleton stepped out in a long-sleeved black-and-white polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich featuring a turtleneck and cinched waist.

Middleton chose her favorite Collingwood pearl drop earrings — a family heirloom that once belonged to Princess Diana.

The late Princess of Wales wore the baubles often and they perfectly matched the Queen Mary Lovers Knot tiara, which was her favorite and has also been worn by Middleton on multiple occassions.

Today, Middleton was joined husband Prince William at the service, where the pair put on a united front following Prince Harry’s shocking BBC interview last Friday.

The Duke of Sussex said he’s “desperate” to reconcile with his family, whom he’s been feuding with since he moved to the US in 2020 and released his bombshell memoir.
