The Princess accessorized with a three-strand pearl necklace which palace aides confirmed belonged to the late Queen. It appears to be the same one she wore to receive Her Majesty's coffin at Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth II had a vast collection of three-strand pearl necklaces which Queen's Jewel Vault covers in more detail.

The Princess, despite her grief is able to connect so effortlessly with guests. She is a rock and I bet the RF know how lucky they are to have her. I wish them much strength during this time. Also, thank you Elizabeth for quietly and respectfully updating your blog during this period of mourning. I noticed you haven’t been overly active on your socials with outfit details and I respect your restraint.

The Princess has been a great source of strength for her family. She is quiet star that has a stepped up for Crown and Country.

As usual she looks stunning. The simplicity of the dress works so well with pearls, another quiet tribute to the Queen.
