Princess Kate is expected to wear delicate, meaningful jewellery rather than grand heirlooms when she makes her return to official duties tomorrow, an expert told GB News.
The Princess of Wales will join Prince William for a rare joint engagement at the Natural History Museum on Thursday, where the couple will tour the newly opened gardens and meet children involved in conservation projects.
Jewellery specialist Tobias Kormind, Managing Director of 77 Diamonds, said Kate’s choices will be closely watched.
“As the Princess of Wales makes her return to official duties, joining Prince William for a rare joint engagement, her jewellery choices will be closely watched,” he told the People's Channel.

“For a garden visit to the Natural History Museum, we can expect Catherine to lean towards delicate, understated pieces over grand family heirlooms,” he said.
Mr Kormind noted that the Princess often selects designs with personal meaning.
“She often selects designs that have personal resonance, such as her gold initial necklace honouring her three children or nature-inspired motifs like her gold fern earrings, which perfectly reflect the environmental theme and the relaxed mood of the occasion.”
The mother-of-three will also be shown how the museum is using cutting-edge technology to track biodiversity.
