SHE’S GETTING OLD: Kate Middleton Wears Subtle But Meaningful Tribute to Her Love Story with Prince William at Latest Appearance…See More

Kate Middleton has long been known to send sentimental messages through her clothing, particularly her jewelry—and her latest engagement on July 2 was no exception.

InStyle has previously covered how her garnet necklace is likely a subtle tribute to herself and her own strength as she faced down a harrowing cancer journey—the Princess of Wales, born in January, has a birthstone of garnet.

The future queen also brought out her engagement ring, which she doesn’t always do for hospital visits, like the one she undertook Wednesday to Colchester Hospital in Essex.

And, speaking of the Prince of Wales, Kate wore a hidden tribute to her husband of 14 years last week in the form of her Cartier Ballon Bleu watch—a third wedding anniversary gift from William, according to GB News.

The watch “features blue hands that beautifully echo the sapphire in Kate’s engagement ring,” the outlet reported.

“The watch displays a large Roman numeral dial housed in a stainless steel case with a matching bracelet, with Kate favoring the 33mm size.”
