She kept her style simple, wearing her hair in a chignon and accessorising with a pair of flower-shaped pearl earrings

The Beating Retreat ceremony takes place over two days

I like when she wears  jewelry  I haven’t seen before.

I was thinking the same thing, @Nancy Drew,  and that jewelry complements her outfit and the occasion so nicely...

She dresses so very conservatively (unless she's wearing skirts that are quite - and sometimes too- short IMO.  That's a nice, staid outfit.  IMO, with her hairdo, it ages her.  I think this is a good example of when she plays it too safe. There is plenty of time for her to dress that conservatively when she's in her late 50s and early 60s; she should be just a bit more adventurous and age-appropriate IMO than this outfit.  It's nice enough, just kind of "blah" and agining to her IMO.

Kate is a vision in this outfit.  She smiles so much and seems to be such a happy person.

It looks like the shamrock pin, not sure. I've seen those earrings before too.

 

She looks so pretty and polished.

My 94 yo mother had earrings like that!  LOL  


Kate is always impeccably dressed.  And always has a great smile, which is the best accessory!  I love her hair here, too.

Ahhh...those pearl flower earrings...my beloved mother had a pair of those and wore them often.  Except hers were not as expensive as the Princess's.  That brought back memories for me.
