Kate Middleton doesn’t chase trends, but she sure knows how to wield them. This fall, she made room in her wardrobe for brown suede boots and bags, seamlessly weaving some of the season’s popular accessories into her rotation. Luckily, she already had this summer’s trending earrings in her jewelry collection.
Typically, the Princess of Wales saves her most relatable pieces for more casual public outings—whether she’s breaking out her cowboy boots for a visit to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution or carrying around a rare woven tote at Wimbledon. On June 13, however, Middleton infused her formal Trooping the Colour ensemble with a bit of a trendy touch, breaking out her favorite Cassandra Goad floral pearl earrings, which she first debuted at Prince Louis’ christening in 2018.

Sure, the $10,239 price tag on these diamond and pearl studs are not quite budget-friendly, but they are remarkably on-trend for summer 2026. As Glamour reported back in May, bold floral earrings are fully in bloom this summer, whether you opt for a more organic shape or a studded pearl daisy design à la Middleton. Of course, she was way ahead of the game, having reworn these earrings on multiple occasions since 2018, including the 2024 Trooping the Colour parade and a recent event in March of this year.
