In a nod to her mother-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge wore earrings believed to be the same pair Princess Diana wore for Harry's christening.

Set off by a red headband and Kate's dark locks is a pair of pearl drop earrings, as seen in photos released from her nephew's christening yesterday.

It has been previously reported The Queen banned Meghan, but not Kate, from wearing Diana's jewellry.

Diana wore her Collingwood pearl earrings to Harry's christening on 21 December, 1984 at Windsor Castle's St George Chapel.

In the older photo, the Royal family, including the Queen, is posed on the same green and gold furniture as those used in the more formal group photos taken yesterday.

The photo from yesterday shows Diana's sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, both attended the private event.

Kate has previously worn pieces from Diana's jewellery collection, and inherited her mother-in-law's iconic, sapphire engagement ring when William proposed to her in 2010.
