On Easter Sunday the Princess of Wales stepped out in an elegant electric blue Catherine Walker and matching accessories, which has become something of a style signature for the royal.
She also donned coordinating vintage-inspired earrings to attend the Easter Mattins Service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor. The earrings hailed from Carousel Jewels, a brand which makes handcrafted, first-edition jewellery based on historical designs.

"When I watched films from my grandparents' time - Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Laurence of Arabia - I just loved those stories of romance, travel and history. This was the founding concept behind Carousel Jewels: modern jewellery that takes us back.
I studied the jewellery of the Romans and the Victorians, of the modernists and the post-modernists," explains Founder and designer Sally Louise, "We started getting press opportunities in publications like Vogue, The Independent and Grazia. Then our designs were spotted by the costume team at Bridgerton, and our pieces ended up featuring in the Netflix hit show."
The Stella earrings she donned are relatively affordable, at £130, and thanks to her patronage have already sold out. Fear not; the brand explained in a statement on their Instagram, "We're busy handcrafting more... As with all our pieces, these are entirely made by hand so please bear with us and we will send your earrings as soon as they’re ready. Make sure you pre-order soon as they'll be released in limited batches."
Recently, Kate has been championing affordable yet elevated statement earrings. Back in February she wore a pair of Zara earrings to the 2023 EE BAFTAs. The floral danglers gave major Schiaparelli vibes, but were actually less than £20 from the high-street brand.
Until her exact ones are back in stock we have found some similar pairs which you can shop now to get the Princess’ look...
