Princess Kate is set to pay a "moving tribute" with her jewellery when she arrives at Buckingham Palace today, an expert has exclusively told GB News.
The Princess of Wales is joining her husband, Prince William, as well as King Charles and Queen Camilla in London for celebrations to mark VE Day.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and Timothy Laurence, the Duke of Kent and the Prime Minister will also be present on the Queen Victoria Memorial (QVM) outside Buckingham Palace.
This group will observe military units processing down The Mall from Whitehall in honour of those who served during World War Two.

Once the parade has ended, the Royal Family will return to Buckingham Palace before appearing on the balcony to watch a flypast.
Tobias Kormind, the managing director and co-founder of 77 Diamonds, Europe’s largest online diamond jeweller, spoke exclusively to GB News about what the royal women are expected to wear today.
He said: “With a wide range of events set to take place to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we can expect to see a rich variety of significant jewels worn by the senior royal women.
“Each chosen piece will not only reflect personal sentiment but pay tribute to the enduring spirit of the wartime generation.

“For example, Catherine, Princess of Wales, who has been the honorary Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards since 2022, may choose to wear an 18K gold shamrock traditionally loaned to royal women associated with the regiment.
“Alternatively, Queen Camilla or the Princess of Wales may opt for the aquamarine and diamond clip brooches gifted to Queen Elizabeth II by her father, King George VI, in 1944.
“The late Queen notably wore these brooches during her televised address marking the 75th anniversary of VE day in 2020.
