The Duchess of Cambridge's Jewellery

The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her perfectly crafted sense of style, and that extends to her glittering accessories. Pre-marriage Kate wasn't really one for major sparkle, but having access to Queen Elizabeth II's jewellery vault can easily turn any woman into a bling-lover. The duchess has been lucky to wear heritage pieces either as loans or as gifts, including her brand new, diamond-encrusted The Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth ll badge.

We've tracked down the history of all the borrowed pieces that Kate has added to her working wardrobe, from diamond-encrusted brooches with deep meanings to tricky tiaras.
