Kate Middleton wore husband Prince William's Feathers Pendant — a piece often showcased by Diana, Princess of Wales — for her first outing at a state visit in her new title.

The sparkling diamond pendant, which can be worn as a brooch as Kate did on Tuesday, is made of 18 round cut diamonds with small emeralds around the three Prince of Wales ostrich feathers, a crown and the motto “Ich Dien” (I serve).
