**Editor’s Note:** This piece examines how Princess Kate’s jewelry choices at Wimbledon subtly honor and reinterpret the legacy of Princess Diana, blending personal style with symbolic continuity.
At Wimbledon, Princess Kate not only captivated with her outfits but also with her jewelry. Princess Kate debuted new dresses at Wimbledon but relied on familiar pieces for her jewelry. An expert sees this as a deliberate tactic reminiscent of Princess Diana.
Princess Kate has increasingly relied on familiar jewelry pieces during her recent public appearances to build a subtle personal brand. During this year’s Wimbledon Championships, Kate, accompanied by Prince George and Princess Charlotte, appeared in entirely new outfits but chose trusted favorites for her accessories.
According to a report by Marie Claire, she wore lapis lazuli and moonstone earrings, as well as a striking ruby and diamond set. Jewelry expert Nilesh Rakholia suggests this deliberate selection is intended to achieve a deeper psychological impact on the audience.

The jewelry expert sees a clear pattern in Kate’s behavior that echoes her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. Major televised events like the tennis tournament create immense pressure, prompting celebrities to rely on proven choices rather than experiments.
This effect can also be historically substantiated, according to the expert.
While Princess Diana was known for her preference for sapphires and pearls, Kate now appears to be establishing rubies as her personal signature. She first wore her red G. Collins & Sons pendant in 2017 during a trip to Poland. The necklace’s design closely resembles Diana’s famous sapphire engagement ring, which Kate now owns herself.

Additionally, there is a family connection to the red gemstones: rubies are the birthstone of Kate’s eldest son, Prince George, who will turn 13 next week.
