Princess Anne is said to have been given a three-stand pearl necklace, previously worn by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
According to style experts from Diamonds Factory Ireland, the Princess Royal inherited the pearl jewellery after her mother’s death in September 2022.
Queen Elizabeth II received the natural pearl necklace as a gift from her father, King Georgie VI.
The necklace is estimated to be worth between £800,000 and £1million and holds significant sentimental value.
Analysts from Diamonds Factory estimate that each pearl is worth between £2,000 and £3,000.
Although Princess Anne has not been seen wearing the pearls yet, she is well-known for her love of pearls, and it is likely that she will wear them in the near future.
In addition to this necklace, she also owns other necklaces that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.
The necklace was initially given to the Queen by Pakistani President Ayub Khan during his only official visit to the UK after the country’s independence in 1947.
Over time, it has become one of Princess Anne’s most frequently worn accessories.
The necklace originally had a two-row, turquoise, seed-pear, and gold South Asian traditional “dolada Haar” design when it was first given to the Queen in 1966.
It was later transformed into the design we know today, with the earrings and necklace rearranged into a single row.
The last time Princess Anne was seen wearing this necklace was in 2007 on Ladies’ Day.
She regularly wore this beautiful jewel throughout the 1970s.
