In a development that’s sent shockwaves through royal circles, Princess Catherine has unveiled a breathtaking jewelry collection valued at over £82 million — and it’s causing serious tension within the royal family.

The dazzling collection, a mix of historic treasures and modern masterpieces, showcases not only the opulence of the British monarchy but also Catherine’s impeccable sense of style. However, the overwhelming attention surrounding these jewels has reportedly stirred feelings of jealousy in Queen Camilla, who may feel overshadowed by the younger royal’s growing prominence and sparkle.

At the heart of Catherine’s glittering trove are 10 extraordinary pieces personally gifted or loaned to her by the late Queen Elizabeth II. Valued at an estimated £61.8 million, these iconic pieces include:

Queen Mary’s Diamond Choker

The Cartier Halo Tiara

The Nizam of Hyderabad Necklace

The Maple Leaf Brooch

The New Zealand Fern Brooch

The Royal Family Order Brooch

Bahrain Pearl Earrings

Bahrain Pearl Choker

Dubai Sapphire Earrings

Ruby and Diamond Floral Bandeau Necklace

Among these, the Nizam of Hyderabad Necklace stands out as the crown jewel — a 1935 Cartier masterpiece featuring over 50 diamonds in a stunning floral design, complete with a detachable double-drop pendant. It’s now considered one of the most valuable royal jewelry items, worth between £65 million and £70 million.

But the late Queen wasn’t the only one to contribute to Catherine’s growing royal collection.

Upon marrying Prince William, Catherine was gifted six cherished pieces from Princess Diana’s personal collection, including:

The iconic 12-carat Ceylon sapphire engagement ring

The Saudi Sapphire Suite

The Lover’s Knot Tiara

A three-strand pearl bracelet

Collingwood pearl earrings

South Sea pearl earrings

Altogether, these Diana heirlooms are estimated to be worth around £16.5 million. Each piece carries immense sentimental value, especially considering Princess Diana’s wish — expressed in a letter before her passing — that her beloved jewelry be passed down to her sons’ future wives so her legacy could live on through them.

Both Catherine and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have honored that wish, wearing their respective pieces with grace and pride.

In addition to heirlooms, Prince William and King Charles have also gifted Catherine a number of personal treasures, including:

A Cartier Olympic Set

The Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch

A promise ring and eternity band

Green tourmaline and amethyst earrings

A shamrock brooch

A custom gold necklace

Her wedding band

More stunning amethyst earrings

Each item holds deep personal meaning, marking milestones in Catherine’s life and marriage.

Looking ahead, royal insiders believe Princess Charlotte will one day inherit part of this magnificent collection — continuing a long-standing royal tradition of passing jewelry to the next generation of royal women during weddings, coronations, and major life events.

As Catherine’s role in the royal family continues to rise, her extraordinary jewelry collection not only reflects her growing stature but also serves as a shimmering reminder of the legacy passed down from both Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana.
