The Princess of Wales appeared to be in high spirits as she was seen for the first time publicly since sharing that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment.
On Sunday, Kate, 42, was seen driving to Crathie Kirk in Balmoral alongside her husband, Prince William, also 42. The royal pair reunited with King Charles and Queen Camilla in the Scottish Highlands to attend a church service.
Looking the picture of regality, the royal’s unmistakable elegance was still apparent from behind the car’s windscreen.
The Princess wore an autumnal chequered coat and her ‘Suffolk’ Fedora from Hicks & Brown, a hat she also wore the last time she attended a service at Crathie Kirk in August.
Most striking, however, were the glittering gold chandelier earrings the mother-of-three added to her ensemble.
Peeking out behind her glossy brunette hair, Kate’s earrings – which are the Temple of Heaven earrings from Cassandra Goad – added a dose of regal glamour to her otherwise casual aesthetic.
The £2,780 earrings have been in the Princess of Wales’ jewellery collection for several years, first debuting the pair in 2010 before she became married to Prince William.
According to the brand, the Temple of Heaven earrings in yellow gold are inspired by the Emperor of China.
“The Emperor was regarded as the son of Heaven, responsible for the celestial power for success or failure for his government. The Temple of Heaven earrings are one of Cassandra’s most enduring and beloved designs. From the journey to China,” writes the designer.

In 2021, Kate’s mother Carole Middleton was spotted browsing jewellery at Cassandra Goad’s Chelsea boutique, proving the Princess and her family are fans of the brand.

In 2018, Kate wore the stunning £4,360 Cavolfiore pearl stud earrings at Prince Louis’ christening.
