On July 7, 2019, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released official family photos from Archie's christening, which included a special tribute to Princess Diana from Kate Middleton.

The Duchess of Cambridge wore Princess Diana's Collingwood Pearl Earrings, which she had previously worn to Prince Harry's christening in 1984, to the special occasion.

Contrasting with her long brunette hair, the pearl drop earrings looked stunning in the photo, and Kate looked radiant in a pink knee-length Stella McCartney dress with a tie detail around the neck.

She teamed her frock with red heels and a red headband, revealing the earrings, which was a touching nod to her late mother-in-law.

However, Kate's jewellery was not the only tribute to Princess Diana in the christening photos. The couple chose to include Diana's two sisters - Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale - in the official family photo.

The two women are standing directly behind Meghan smiling at the camera, and the couple also included a special chair in the photos that held a very sweet meaning.

The chair, which is part of the same set as the one used in Harry's christening, was also used in the couple's official wedding photos and is a single chair that Diana sat on in the pictures of her, Charles, and Harry on the special day.
