Princess Kate has been honoured by Lady Gabriella Windsor in a sweet tribute.

The daughter of Prince Michael of Kent, a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II, stepped out at Westminster Abbey on Friday to attend the Princess of Wales's annual carol service.


Walking side-by-side with Carole Middleton, Lady Gabriella was pictured wearing a pair of Kate’s earrings from Missoma.

The Gold Zenyu Chandelier earrings have famously been worn by the Princess of Wales on multiple occasions.

Featuring a gold hoop connected to a fan, they are finished with delicate gold bobbles.

They are plated in 18ct gold and retail for £139.

Inspired by Colombia, these unique jewels were debuted by the Princess of Wales in 2019 during a royal tour to Pakistan.

Kate wore the versatile earrings two years later with an emerald Jenny Packham gown for the Royal Variety Performance.

The Missoma Zenyu earrings carry symbolic weight, with CEO and founder Marisa Hordern telling The Mail: "I started Missoma because I was trying to find fashion-forward jewellery that was high quality and also affordable and realised that it didn’t exist, so I set about designing it myself.

"Fast forward to today and we’re shipping to over 200 countries worldwide."

On Friday, Lady Gabriella paired the jewels with a green coat from Catherine Walker, which Kate also owns in blue.

The princess debuted the garment on Commonwealth Day back in 2022, before wearing it at Easter the following year.

She also donned the coat at the "Scottish Coronation" in 2023.

For Lady Gabriella, joining the 1,600 guests at Westminster Abbey would have been a poignant moment following the inquest into the death of her husband, Thomas Kingston.

The service also marked Kate's gradual return to public duties following her cancer treatment.

Her fourth "Together At Christmas" carol service will be televised by ITV on Christmas Eve.
