The idea of a gift from William aligns with his history of giving Princess of Wales sentimental jewelry at VE Day commemorations
There’s no definitive evidence from the provided sources that Kate Middleton debuted dazzling jewels as a gift from Prince William specifically at the VE Day commemorations on May 5, 2025. However, she did wear notable jewelry at the event, which could spark speculation about their origin.
At the 80th anniversary of VE Day in London, Kate Middleton wore a bespoke berry-hued Emilia Wickstead coatdress, accessorized with a Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm brooch, a ruby necklace, ruby and diamond earrings, Princess Diana’s triple-strand pearl bracelet, and Ralph Lauren pumps. The Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm brooch was a nod to the veterans present, and the ruby pieces coordinated with her ensemble, but none of these items were explicitly described as new or a gift from Prince William in the sources.
The idea of a gift from William aligns with his history of giving Kate sentimental jewelry, such as Princess Diana’s sapphire engagement ring, a Victorian eternity band with garnets and pearls, and various push presents like a diamond eternity band after Prince George’s birth. However, reports of Kate wearing new jewels often fuel speculation without confirmation. For instance, a Tatler article from January 2025 noted Kate wearing new sentimental earrings on Christmas Day, possibly a gift from William or her parents, but no such claim was made for the VE Day event.
It’s possible the ruby necklace or earrings were new or gifted, but the sources don’t confirm this. The pearl bracelet, known to be Diana’s, wasn’t a new gift. Without specific reports tying the VE Day jewelry to William, it’s just as likely Kate selected these pieces from her existing collection for their symbolic or aesthetic fit.
