It has been a busy period for the royal mother-of-three, who only recently moved her family to a new home in Windsor and took her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, to their first day at school last week. On Thursday, she and William went to Sandringham to view floral tributes left to the Queen, while earlier this week she supported her husband and other senior royals as they paid tribute to the Queen at the funeral procession through central London. On Friday, the royal swept her long brunette hair into a neat bun and donned a black fascinator as she arrived at the center in Surrey.

The earrings are believed to be an elegant pair the Princess has worn on a number of previous occasions, including the day she left hospital after the birth of Prince Louis . Kate also chose them for a day of engagements in The Netherlands in 2016, her first official solo overseas visit without Prince William. The royal mother-of-three also wore the jewels as she joined the royal family to receive the Queen's coffin at Buckingham Palace. It is believed they previously belonged to the Queen with Her Majesty wearing them to a number of events over the years.

The Queen was known for being generous with her private jewelry collection and has passed on tiaras, earrings and necklaces to members of her family. During the outing Friday, she and the Prince will be thanking Commonwealth troops deployed from Canada, Australia and New Zealand who are rehearsing to take part in Her Late Majesty’s State Funeral on Monday.

Rehearsals for the service took part earlier in the day and continued even after the royals arrived on site. Friday's visit is Kate's second to the center in less than a year, after she wore a helmet and posed in an army tank in pictures she posted on Armed Forces Day. Pirbright is acting as a holding area for service personnel based outside London, where troops can train, eat and sleep before moving into the capital to deliver 'ceremonial support' to the funeral'.

The center houses 750 service personnel across Defence, and Commonwealth Realm Defence Forces and has previously been used for soldiers involved in The Duke of Edinburgh's funeral and Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. The Prince and Princess of Wales were also introduced to residents by His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk at a private audience at Sandringham House on Thursday.

During the visit, Norfolk's Lord-Lieutenant, Lady Dannatt, introduced Kate, 40, and Prince William , 40, to people from the area. Lady Dannatt is the King's representative in the county, taking over the role from Sir Richard Jewson KCVO JP when he retired in August 2019. It has been an extremely busy period for Kate, who has been supporting her husband Prince William publicly, and no doubt helping her children adjust to life without their Gan-Gan. The death of their great-grandmother the Queen will be a heavy blow to Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Prince Louis, as they and their parents begin a new life at Adelaide Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle - where Her Majesty spent most of the year.

Within 48 hours of their children starting a new school, the country was in mourning - but the Duchess decided to stay in Windsor to support the children at school as William flew to Aberdeenshire on a RAF jet. Prince William, now heir to the throne, rushed to Scotland in an attempt to see his grandmother before she died. Since then, Kate has remained a stoic presence by Prince William's side, accompanying him at a royal walkabout in Windsor alongside his brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle, as well as at the funeral procession on Wednesday.
