Princess Anne also wore the necklace during the Queen’s Commonwealth Dinner at Buckingham Palace that same year.

It will undoubtedly remain in the Princess Royal’s jewellery collection, and perhaps even be passed onto Zara Tindall eventually.

Princess Anne often pairs the necklace and earrings with the diamond festoon tiara that she received as a gift from the World Wide Shipping Group.

Along with wearing the tiara, necklace, and earrings together for various state events, Anne wore them in her engagement portraits.

She also wore the necklace and earrings with a diamond floral brooch in her 60th birthday portraits.
