Duchess Kate's poignant gesture with symbolic faux pearls
Duchess Kate honored the memory of the Holocaust victims by wearing a Susan Caplan faux pearl necklace. As reported by the "Daily Mail," the choice of this jewelry by Prince William's wife was deliberate, as it holds symbolic significance.
Duchess Kate and Prince William participated in Holocaust Memorial Day events in London. They met with survivors, and their presence was seen as a gesture of support and remembrance for the victims. The Prince of Wales emphasized the bravery of the survivors who share their experiences, assuring that their stories will never be forgotten.

Duchess Kate hid a secret by wearing a faux pearl necklace
During the event, Duchess Kate drew attention with her outfit. She chose a dark graphite coat, a black blouse, and elegant trousers. However, it was the faux pearl necklace that garnered special attention. According to the "Daily Mail," the jewelry was from the Susan Caplan brand, which has Jewish origins.
The Duchess wanted to support a company run by a person of Jewish origin with this gesture. The necklace is worth £275 ($340) and was created in the style of the 1980s. It is currently not available for sale, but the brand announces its return. Duchess Kate's gesture was appreciated by Susan Caplan, who thanked her on Instagram.
Today marks 80 years since the Holocaust, and as a Jewish owned brand we are honored that the Princess of Wales chose to wear our necklace for today’s memorial to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, we read.
