Kate Middleton just wore these surprisingly affordable earrings – here's where to buy
The Princess of Wales consistently demonstrates her sartorial flair. At a solo visit to the V&A East Storehouse (part of the V&A Museum group) on Tuesday (10 June), she proved her styling skills once more and looked every bit regal. The princess, who studied art history, rewore a sleek navy trouser suit by Alexander McQueen for her private tour of the museum. Kate Middleton paired the two-piece with a pair of earrings from British brand Carousel Jewels. Much like her suit, she has worn the drop studs in the past, notably in 2022 at an Easter Sunday service. True to the 'Kate effect', they sold out almost immediately. While it's fair to assume that most of Kate's jewellery collection is unattainable, she frequently plumps for reasonably-priced jewels to compliment her outfits, and the latest piece is no exception. If you missed out on the jewellery piece in 2022, it's good news because the earrings are available to buy now. The ethos behind British brand Carousel Jewels is creating jewellery that is 'meaningful, memorable, and responsibly made', which is reflected in all of its handmade designs. Using precious and semi-precious stones in its playful designs, there's a piece for every occasion. Much like the rest of the brand's collection, the gold-plated earrings that Kate wore are handmade. The blue lapis stone is complimented by the milky blue hue of the moonstone to create an eye-catching finish. The chic style can be tailored to suit any occasion. Owing to popularity, you are in for a little wait before you can get your hands on them. The earrings are available to pre-order with delivery expected in five weeks. However, they will be well worth the wait.

Kate makes hands-on visit to examine museum's exhibits
Kate visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London's Stratford to learn about its 'order an object' system where paintings, furniture, books and sculptures can be requested and a room set aside for viewing with staff. With a keen interest in the arts and a love of the natural world, she choose a number of items themed around nature, a large William Morris samples book, rolls of ornate textiles and a musical instrument for the private moment. The Princess of Wales with (left to right) Oriole Cullen, the senior fashion and textiles curator, and Kate Parsons, the director of collections care and access, with a 19th Century riding habit (Eddie Mulholland/Daily Telegraph/PA) More than 500,000 creative works, from individual items to whole collections like the Glastonbury festival archive, are stored at the site, the majority of the V&A's collection. Kate, patron of the V&A, told its deputy director and chief operating officer Tim Reeve 'it's so eclectic' as they stood in a huge space housing objects around them adding: 'It's all part of the process of displaying and curating.' The princess wore a smart trouser suit for the visit to the storehouse in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and wore stiletto heels despite the attraction's website advising on flat shoes as the 'metal grid flooring is not suitable for stilettos or kitten heels'. Mr Reeve said later about Kate: 'It's clear today she really loves the idea of what we're trying to do, show that back-of-house world and to be a member of the public seeing that behind-the-scenes experience is what this is about. 'She's obviously fortunate to see quite a bit of the back-of-house world, but I think she really understood today that she was sharing it with the public, everyone is seeing the same space, everyone has that privileged access to our collection.' The Princess of Wales in the photography studio (Eddie Mulholland/Daily Telegraph/PA) Commenting on the items Kate had asked to be shown, he added: 'I did have a look at what was laid out, and some amazing things as always, an amazing musical instrument, there's lots of stuff that's related to nature. 'One of the things I saw that she'll be super interested in is this big William Morris fabric sample book, it's an enormous thing and you can sort of flick through.' Items stored at the site include a drum kit used by Keith Moon, former drummer with The Who, examples of Queen Elizabeth II's dresses designed by Norman Hartnell, and from September David Bowie's archive, donated by his estate, will be available. She began her visit by viewing with V&A director Tristram Hunt a table, wardrobe and corner cupboard designed by art historian and artist Roger Fry, who influenced the Bloomsbury artists, and made by his Omega Workshops. Later Kate put on a purple rubber glove to handle a 19th century female riding habit – skirt, waistcoat and jacket – and marvelled at its red colour as she touched its lining and was also shown an Alexander McQueen dress coat. The Princess of Wales is shown around the V&A East Storehouse (Eddie Mulholland/Daily Telegraph) Photographer Sarah Duncan talked Kate through the process of taking an image of ballet shoes worn by Alicia Markova, when she danced the lead role in the 1934 production of Giselle, and was told 'you want scratches to shine' as the image would document the item. In another part of the building, the princess chatted to Christina Juan, lecturer and head of the Philippines department at the School of Oriental and African Studies, who happened to be in the room next to Kate's private viewing and was examining delicate fabrics from the Philippines. The lecturer was studying turban scarves from the 1850s and said later: 'I told her they were made from banana leaves. She was just surprised at the sheerness of the cloth and asked was it still made.' She said about the process of seeing the items: 'It's amazing I can just go online and order – it's very easy, like ordering an Uber.'
