Royal fans could not get enough of the future Queen and took to social media to praise her for her choice to wear pearls.

One user wrote on X: "Susan Caplan has some great and really affordable jewellery. Catherine looked lovely, as ever." A second one added: "Her pearls are beautiful."

A third one said: "Wow those necklace and earrings are not expensive and yet she’s making it looks like worth a lot." A fourth one agreed: "Love pearls."

A fifth one commented: "Such a gorgeous, iconic outfit. I adore the way she mixes designer faux pearls and Chanel bag. Coco would approve!"

The Prince and Princess of Wales were sat in the royal box inside London's Horse Guards Parade and were joined by King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Stars such as Freya Ridings, Fleur East, Strictly dancers Amy Dowden, Carlos Gu and Kai Widdrington, The Darkness and actor Brian Cox were among the performers at the VE Day: A Celebration To Remember event, televised live on the BBC.

The celebrations followed poignant commemorations earlier in the day, with a national two-minute silence in honour of the war dead and thanksgiving services held across the country.
