On Thursday, the Royal Family met at Westminster Abbey for a service celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, a day to commemorate the end of World War II in Europe. Kate Middleton attended the event in a long-sleeved black and white polka dot dress by designer Alessandra Rich. She completed the look with a black fascinator from Juliette Botterill, a pair of nude pumps from Ralph Lauren, a matching Demellier purse and a pair of earrings that became the highlight of the outfit.
Middleton adorned a family heirloom that belonged to Princess Diana- a pair of Collingwood pearl drop earrings. These earrings had been worn by the princess's mother-in-law multiple times in her life, including with her iconic little black dress.

Inarguably, the most iconic jewel owned by Princess Diana, which Kate received as an heirloom, is the sapphire engagement ring. Created by British jeweller Garrard, the ring was chosen for Prince Charles' proposal to Diana in 1981.
In 2010, Prince William presented the ring to Kate for the same reason. Featuring a 12-carat oval Ceylon surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds, the ring is now Kate's engagement ring and is worn by her on many occasions.

The Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara is a true royal family heirloom, as it was first lent to Princess Diana by her mother-in-law late Queen Elizabeth II. After her death, the tiara was passed down to Kate, who adorned it for the first time for her first state banquet in 2015.
Featuring a romantic design, the tiara is a combination of diamonds and pearls, Diana's favourite gems.

Princess Diana was a fan of pearls for sure. She owned multiple jewellery pieces made of pearls, which also included a three-strand pearl bracelet created by Nigel Milne in 1988. Over the years, Kate has donned the bracelet multiple times, such as during the Germany tour in 2017 and the Caribbean tour in 2022.
Princess Diana's Emerald Choker

Another family heirloom is this emerald choker that originally belonged to Queen Mary but was worn by Princess Diana on numerous occasions. In 2022, Kate attended Prince William's Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston dressed in a green gown and emerald choker, just like her late mother-in-law.

Farah Khan Reveals Kamal Haasan Was Her First Choice For Main Hoon Na: 'He Asked Me To Duck Off'
Last Updated: Farah Khan revealed she first offered Main Hoon Na's villain role to Kamal Haasan – and his response was hilarious. Farah Khan's cooking vlog with Shruti Haasan recently turned into an unexpected Bollywood throwback, when the filmmaker revealed that her debut film almost looked very different. During the casual kitchen chat, Farah recalled approaching Shruti's father, Kamal Haasan, for a key role in her 2004 hit Main Hoon Na. To her surprise, the veteran actor turned it down – in a way only he could! 'Kamal sir was my first choice for Main Hoon Na, but then Suniel Shetty played that role. I went to Chennai to his office and narrated him the script, and he politely asked me to duck off," Farah laughed, without sharing why he refused. Why Kamal Haasan Said No to Farah Khan's Debut In the film, the role in question was the antagonist, Raghavan Dutta, who stood against Shah Rukh Khan's Major Ram in the Indo-Pak peace mission storyline. The part eventually went to Suniel Shetty, whose performance became one of the film's highlights. Farah revealed she had flown to Chennai to personally narrate the script to Kamal, convinced he was perfect for the part. Instead, she left with a polite but clear rejection – and a story she now tells with a smile. Farah Khan's Main Hoon Na Journey and Its Success Released in 2004, Main Hoon Na became a commercial and critical success. The Shah Rukh Khan-led cast included Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan and Amrita Rao, and was packed with hit songs like Tumse Milke and Main Hoon Na. Made on a budget of Rs 25 crore, it earned over Rs 70 crore worldwide, mixing campus comedy, family drama, romance and action in one package. The plot followed Major Ram as he went undercover in a college to protect a general's daughter while mending his own fractured family ties. Main Hoon Na was first released in cinemas on April 30, 2004. It not only marked Zayed Khan's entry in Bollywood but was also Farah Khan's directorial debut. Main Hoon Naa 2 With Shah Rukh Khan In The Works? As per reports, now, after nearly two decades, SRK and Farah Khan may reunite once again. According to Pinkvilla, Farah is developing a script for Main Hoon Na 2 under Red Chillies Entertainment, Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan's production banner. A source close to the project revealed earlier this year, 'Farah has come up with an idea for the sequel, and Shah Rukh loves the direction she's planning to take. The screenplay is currently in progress, with collaboration between Farah's writing team and in-house writers at Red Chillies." Kamal Haasan's Recent Work Kamal Haasan was last seen in the Tamil film Thug Life, reuniting with director Mani Ratnam after 37 years. Despite the hype, it collected only Rs 97.25 crore globally. The actor is now working on S Shankar's Indian 3, with its release date yet to be announced. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
