Princess Kate is set to surprise fans with royal jewellery that has not been seen in years throughout 2026, a high-end jeweller has claimed.
The princess sent royal followers into a frenzy in December when she was seen wearing Queen Victoria's Oriental Circlet tiara for the first time for the State Visit of the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
It was the third time Kate was seen wearing a tiara in 2025, but the commentator believes fans should be prepared to see more unexpected jewellery items from the princess in 2026.
Speaking exclusively to The People’s Channel, jewellery maker Anna Byers stated: “With greater access to the royal collection than when she was Duchess of Cambridge, and with her tiara choices becoming increasingly bold, the Princess may well surprise us yet.

“I anticipate she may select pieces that haven't been seen in years, delighting royal jewellery enthusiasts with unexpected treasures from the vaults.”
Ms Byers also believes that Kate wearing the Oriental Circlet tiara was her standout moment of 2025.
She continued to GB News: “The princess dazzled in Queen Victoria's Oriental Circlet tiara, delighting royal watchers as this was her first time wearing the piece.
“A favourite of the Queen Mother and also once worn by Queen Elizabeth II, it holds the distinction of being the only tiara designed by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria that remains in the Royal Collection.”
The princess may be set to wear another tiara after it was revealed that there will be a State Visit in March.
“It can be revealed that the King and Queen will host the president of Nigeria on a State Visit to the U.K. in March, the first such visit since 1989,” The Times stated.

The visit has not been confirmed by Buckingham Palace, but should it take place, it would mark the first visit of 2026.
Queen Elizabeth II last hosted Nigeria when she welcomed General Ibrahim Babangida for a State Visit to the UK in May 1989.
The last State visit in December saw the princess pair the Oriental Circlet tiara with a purple-blue, floor-length sequinned gown with flowing cape shoulder detail by Jenny Packham.
