For jewellery, Princess Kate donned a Susan Caplan pearl necklace.

Susan Caplan took to Instagram following the event, thanking the Princess of Wales for wearing its design.

Kate's earrings, which previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, were also on full display.

The Princess of Wales famously wore the Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings at Prince Philip's funeral in 2021.

Kate also wore a pearl bracelet on Monday that belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Kormind exclusively told GB News: "For Holocaust Memorial Day, which this year marks 80 years since the liberation of the largest Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, the Princess of Wales chose a beautiful, five-strand pearl necklace by Jewish vintage jeweller Susan Caplan.

"The Princess also wore the Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings which feature pearls that resemble the shape of tears and which she has previously worn for occasions including Prince Philip's funeral.

"Pearls are sometimes associated with mourning, loss and grief and they felt very fitting with the day's deeply sombre, emotional and poignant mood."

Meanwhile, King Charles travelled to Poland alongside several other European heads of state to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

The monarch became the first British head of state to step foot in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
