Kate Middleton's Earrings Were a Subtle Tribute to Queen Elizabeth
The Queen celebrated her 95th birthday on April 21.
Apr 23, 2021
Queen Elizabeth's birthday this year was a low-key affair. The monarch turned 95 during both the ongoing pandemic and the mourning period for her late husband, Prince Philip. While the day did not include familial celebration, the Duchess of Cambridge paid tribute to her grandmother-in-law in a unique way.
On April 21, the Queen's birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a surprise visit to 282 (East Ham) Squadron, Air Training Corps in East London. There, the couple both learned about how the Air Cadets are supporting young people in developing life skills and paid tribute to Prince Philip, who served as Air Commodore-in-Chief of the Air Training Corps for 63 years. For the occasion, the Duchess borrowed a pair of pearl and diamond earrings from the Queen herself.
