Kate Middleton’s Princess Diana Tribute at Tom Cruise Premiere Sparks Speculation

yahoo.com — September 23, 2026 at 11:01 AM UTC

Kate Middleton wore Princess Diana's pearl drop earrings at the London premiere of Tom Cruise's film "Digger" on Tuesday, a gesture seen as a subtle tribute to Prince William's late mother amid the release of Charles Spencer's new memoir. The Princess of Wales attended the event with Prince William, also wearing the Queen Mother's Amethyst Sautoir Necklace, a piece originally gifted to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923. Her plum Jenny Packham gown featured a V-neckline and ruched detailing. The earrings' appearance coincided with the same-day release of "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," a memoir by Diana's brother, sparking speculation among royal watchers about the timing of the jewelry choice.
