The Princess of Wales showed that her children weren't far from her mind as she and Prince William began their two-day visit to the Scottish Isles on Tuesday.

Stepping out in the port of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, Kate, 43, sported two very sentimental pieces of jewellery.

The Princess, who coordinated with her husband in a checked blazer and a blue shirt, accessorised with two necklaces from one of her favourite jewellers, Daniella Draper.

William and Kate took a break from their royal duties while their children were on their school holidays, and opted to spend Easter Sunday privately at their Norfolk abode, Anmer Hall, instead of attending the annual church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor with the King and Queen.

The couple appeared to follow a precedent set by Charles when he was Prince of Wales with their decision.

William was seen publicly with George when the royal father and son attended Aston Villa's Champion League quarter-final matches against Paris Saint-Germain, firstly in Paris before the second leg at Villa Park in Birmingham.

The Prince of Wales represented the King at Pope Francis' funeral in Vatican City last Saturday, joining a number of foreign royals and world leaders.

The future King was also mobbed by fans as he visited Mentivity, a youth club in south London, last Friday.
