One particularly special piece worn by the Princess was a pair of earrings from the brand Lenique Louis. This brand has a particularly special connection to the Royal Family as the designer was able to start her brand after receiving a £2,000 loan in 2009 to kick start her business from the Prince's Trust - a charity founded by King Charles in 1976.
Lenique was selected as a brand ambassador for the charity and on the Prince's Trust's 40th anniversary in 2016 and the designer was selected to showcase her brand and products to the Queen and Prince Charles.
The Princess' choice to wear the earrings from the designer so closely associated with the Royal Family shows Catherine's stylist's attention to detail when creating the Princess' outfits.

During the tour, the Princess pulled out a number of fabulous looks. Kate Middleton stepped out of her comfort zone in a daring, rented look as she pays homage to Diana with an iconic choker in an all-green ensemble.
