However, it was her jewellery that caught our attention as it was the royal’s mark of support towards Ukraine. Kate wore sapphire and diamond jewellery – the same pieces she previously wore while meeting Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife Olena at Buckingham Palace in 2020.

“In October 2020 we had the privilege to meet President Zelensky and the First Lady to learn of their hope and optimism for Ukraine’s future,” the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrote in a tweet from their official Twitter account on February 26. “Today we stand with the President and all of Ukraine’s people as they bravely fight for that future. W & C,” Kensington Royal had tweeted last month.

This is not the first time the Duchess has shown her support for Ukraine with her fashion choices. Last week, she sported a Ukrainian flag pin attached to her Alexander McQueen cashmere sweater. The sweater was also in the same shade as the East-European country’s flag.
