The Duchess of Edinburgh paid a subtle tribute to her husband, Prince Edward, while showcasing what appeared to be an impressive anniversary gift.
The Duchess, 59, and Prince Edward, 60, attended the Order of the Thistle ceremony on July 3 as the Duke of Edinburgh became a member of the esteemed order, having received the award earlier this year. (The Order of the Thistle is Scotland’s highest honor, recognizing 16 knights selected from men and women with distinguished public service or a “contribution” to public life, according to the BBC.)
The couple, married in 1999, exuded regal elegance at the event. Prince Edward donned the iconic green velvet robe, while the Duchess opted for a soft pink dress and matching hat. Her ensemble included a heartfelt tribute to her husband, as she accessorized with a pair of sparkling diamond half-moon earrings. Tatler reported that these earrings are believed to be an anniversary gift from Prince Edward for their 25th “silver” anniversary, celebrated on June 19.
In addition to the Duchess and Prince Edward, King Charles III also inducted his wife, Queen Camilla, into the order during a private ceremony held at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh. Prince William, who was appointed to the order in 2012, was also in attendance.
