Kate Middleton is honoring the royal family. At a recent appearance at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, she looked predictably elegant and stylish as she watched the games alongside her family, including Prince William and their kids, Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte. She wore some jewelry that paid tribute to some of the key figures in her life, including her children and the late Queen Elizabeth

The Prince and Princess of Wales took a break from their summer to attend the 11-day sporting event showcasing a range of sports, including judo, swimming, and more. 

Kate Middleton wore a stunning and preppy look made up of a white midi skirt, a green Ralph Lauren blazer, and some cream colored pumps. 

But the star of the outfit was the jewelry she opted for, which could be interpreted as a tribute to the past and future of the royal family. One of the items that caught the public's attention was the pair of earrings she wore, which combine two brands: gold diamond hoops by Kiki McDonough, and an Anoushka pearl charm.

For British royals, pearls are associated with Queen Elizabeth II, who was long associated with the stone. 

Another element that caught royal watchers' attention was her necklace: a three-star strand by Daniella Draper, one of Middleton's favorite brands. It's believed the item is a tribute to her three kids, with each one representing a strand.

George looked relaxed as he watched some matches, joined by Charlotte, 11, and Louis, 8, as they chatted amongst themselves. William was spotted discussing the game with his kids, while Charlotte was frequently seen talking to her mom. Louis remains as adorable as ever, capturing the attention of onlookers with his expressive gestures.

Eton College is one of the UK's most prestigious boarding schools, having provided an education for different generations of British leaders and monarchs, among them King Charles III and Prince William. His younger siblings will continue their education at Lambrook School, which educates boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 13. It's located near Ascot in Berkshire, England.
