The Duchess of Cambridge wore Princess Diana's earrings on her outing in Dundee yesterday. Kate, 37, looked elegant in the diamond and sapphire clusters, which she has been seen in on a number of previous occasions.

The earrings - a single Saudi Arabian sapphire surrounded by ten round diamonds — were among Diana's favourites.

The earrings were part of one of Diana's most famous collections of jewels given as a wedding gift by Crown Prince Fahd.

Known as 'The Saudi Suite', it contained a sapphire watch, earrings, bracelet, ring and necklace. Read more from The Daily Mail.

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./
