The look appeared to be a subtle tribute to Princess Diana, who wore a strikingly similar ensemble at the same event in the 1980s.That connection was further echoed in her choice of jewellery: a three-strand pearl bracelet by Nigel Milne that once belonged to Diana. The sentimental piece stood out as one of the most meaningful details of the day.Princess Charlotte also echoed Kate's refined style in an ivory dress and flat shoes from Pretty Ballerinas. She accessorised with a delicate three-strand pearl bracelet that closely resembled her mother's, adding a sense of continuity between the two looks.If you'd like to recreate this elegant matching bracelet style with your own daughter, there are plenty of beautiful alternatives available on the high street. From Lily & Roo, John Lewis, Hobbs and Monsoon, I've rounded up several timeless pearl-inspired pieces to explore.
