June 13 marked King Charles III's official birthday, and as usual the crowds were out in force to cheer the monarch as he and the royal family waved from horse-drawn carriages in the Trooping the Colour parade.
But it's safe to say that Kate Middleton and her 11-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte stole the show with a cute twinning moment—that paid tribute to Princess Diana!
The Princess of Wales, 44, and Charlotte were spotted with a particular matching accessory that had a special significance to Kate's late mother-in-law and Charlotte's grandmother.
Charlotte's three-strand pearl bracelet was identical to the one her mother wore. As for Kate's own bracelet, it once belonged to Diana and was one of her favorite pieces of jewelry.
Designed by Nigel Milne the pearl-and-diamond bracelet was often spotted on Diana's wrist.
Probably the most famous picture of Diana wearing it was taken in 1989 when she paired it with the iconic Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara, and her pearl-encrusted white 'Elvis' dress and bolero by Catherine Walker.

And now Princess Charlotte has her own miniature version!

Kate was channelling Princess Diana in more ways than one at Charles' birthday parade. Her baby blue coat dress by Catherine Walker was extremely similar to a pale aqua coat dress by the same designer that Diana wore to Easter service in 1987.

The $10,240 Cavolfiore earrings by Cassandra Goad, whose design is inspired by the shape of a cauliflower, were previously worn by Kate to Prince Louis' christening in 2018.
Prince Louis, now 8, was spotted solemnly waving from his carriage yesterday alongside Kate, his sister Charlotte, and his 12-year-old brother Prince George.

Meanwhile Prince William rode on horseback wearing the Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards.
King Charles wore the red uniform of the Grenadier Guards, while Queen Camilla wore a red dress by Fiona Clare whose design is based on the Grenadier Guards' uniform. She finished off the military inspired look with a black beret feat. feathered plume.
Camilla was recently appointed Colonel of the Grenadier Guards.
The 75-year-old Princess Royal rode in the procession on horseback in her role as Colonel of The Blues and Royals regiment.
Last week Princess Anne hosted the wedding reception of her son Peter Phillips and his bride Harriet Sterling on her country estate in the Cotswolds.
Following the parade, the royal family were later photographed standing together on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional military fly-by.
There was no sign of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have been on the outs with the royal family since they moved away from the UK in 2019. Tensions were only exacerbated by the publication of Harry's memoir Spare, and recently it was revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's former home of Frogmore Cottage is set to undergo yet more renovations in order to remove the final traces of its previous occupants.
Meghan did take part in the Trooping the Colour parade twice during her brief stint as a royal however, during which time it was Queen Elizabeth II whose birthday was being marked.
She made her Trooping the Colour debut in 2018, just a month after her and Harry's wedding. She wore a pale pink dress by Carolina Herrera that featured an off-the-shoulder neckline.
This drew disapproval from some royal commentators who claimed that such a style of dress for the queen’s birthday broke royal protocol—but Harper’s Bazaar pointed out that Kate Middleton has worn shoulder-baring styles on many occasions, as did Princess Diana before her.
The following year's Trooping the Colour marked Meghan's first appearance in public since giving birth to her and Harry's son Prince Archie earlier that summer.
