At just ten years old, Princess Charlotte made a poignant fashion statement at this year’s Trooping the Colour ceremony that had royal watchers talking. The young princess wore a delicate teal dress adorned with a dazzling diamond horseshoe brooch that once belonged to her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The exquisite piece, last seen at the Queen’s funeral in 2022, is believed to have originally belonged to the Queen Mother, making it a cherished four-generation family heirloom. As sunlight caught its sparkling diamonds, the brooch served as both a stylish accessory and a quiet nod to royal history. Observers noted how Charlotte carried herself with remarkable poise beside her brothers, George and Louis, the heirloom adding a touch of regal elegance to her youthful appearance.
