The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge concluded their special royal train tour on Tuesday evening by joining the Queen and other members of the royal family at Windsor Castle - and what a memorable moment it was!

And thoughtful Kate made sure she paid tribute to Her Majesty with her outfit, too, by wearing a pair of beautiful diamond earrings from the monarch's own collection.

Known as the 'Diamond Frame Earrings', the Queen is thought to have loaned them to her granddaughter-in-law on a long-term basis - and Kate has worn them for a number of important occasions in the past.

For Tuesday night's engagement, the Queen was joined by the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Cambridges, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and the Princess Royal, as they thanked local volunteers and key workers in the quadrangle of Windsor Castle.

No doubt it was a lovely moment to see Kate arrive wearing her sparkling jewels! The Duchess also wore her bespoke Catherine Walker coat that she debuted in Ireland in March, to which she added a chic faux fur collar from Troy London, worth £65.
