Kate Middleton reluctantly missed the Coronation Festival gala at Buckingham Palace on Thursday evening, as it was just days away from her mid-July due date, but her sister Pippa Middleton, brother James and parents Carole and Michael all attended and sat in the royal box with the Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Princess Eugenie, the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex also watched the gala, which took place in the grounds of Buckingham Palace to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen's coronatio.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
