Queen Elizabeth was rarely seen without the elegant necklace, with the Queen’s former assistant private secretary, Sam Cohen, telling People that the late monarch preferred simplicity with her day-to-day jewelry. “She wasn’t interested in material things at all. She wore the same pearl necklace every day,” Cohen told the outlet.

The Buckingham reception marks the fourth time that Kate wore the queen’s classic diamond-and-pearl drop earrings.
