The Duchess of Cambridge appeared to send a heartfelt message to her youngest son, Prince Louis, when she attended the women's singles final at Wimbledon in 2023.

Kate dazzled spectators as she made her entrance at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London to watch Czech player Marketa Vondrousova compete against Tunisian Ons Jabeur for the Ladies title. The Royal donned a £420 lime green midi-dress from Self Portrait, featuring a short sleeve blazer-inspired boucle bodice and a pleated chiffon skirt.

She complemented her outfit with nude suede pumps by Gianvito Rossi, which she coordinated with an Emmy London chain clutch.

Keen observers were quick to notice a particularly special accessory chosen by Kate for the occasion. The Duchess sported a stunning pair of floral earrings at Centre Court - Cavalfiore Pear Studs by British jewellery designer Cassandra Goad.

These earrings come with a hefty price tag, available to order from £4,360. Kate has only been seen wearing these earrings in public once before - at Prince Louis's christening back in 2018, reports the Mirror.

On the occasion, she donned an elegant cream dress by Alexander McQueen featuring puffed sleeves and a midi-length hem, which beautifully matched her son's traditional Honiton white lace christening gown. Her ensemble was completed with an eye-catching Jane Taylor headpiece.

The earrings worn by the Princess are particularly noteworthy. A detailed examination reveals that each pearl is accentuated by a tiny diamond at its core, encircled by gold.

According to the designer's website, the earrings are described as: "Cavolfiore studs in 18ct yellow gold and set with seven pearls set with diamonds (0.3cts). Inspired by the clusters of young flower stalks of the cauliflower (cavolfiore) in the market. From the Journey to Sicily."

The Princess has long been acknowledged as a fashion icon, celebrated for her skill in pairing luxury items with accessible high-street brands. After showcasing her exquisite floral earrings at the women's final, she switched to more modestly priced jewellery the next day, wearing earrings valued at merely £45.

Kate maintained her stylish presence at Wimbledon, opting for surprisingly affordable earrings during the 2023 Wimbledon Men's Singles Final, where she appeared with Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte. The gold and green drop earrings, hailing from the London-based label Milina, were priced at just £45.

The earrings are available in both sterling silver and an 18k gold-plated version, featuring green onyx stones set on easy-to-wear hooks. The brand also offers the same pair of earrings with a variety of coloured stones, ranging from purple amethyst to Royal blue chalcedony.

However, it wasn't just her earrings that garnered attention. Kate paired her emerald-green midi dress by Roland Mouret with an Emmy London clutch bag and nude Gianvito Rossi heels.

She also accessorised with an aquamarine and gold bangle from Royal Warrant holder Halcyon Days another relatively affordable jewellery choice at just £150.
