Princess Kate Middleton wore jewelry with a special meaning at a royal engagement to honor those affected by the Holocaust.

Middleton, 43, stepped out with Prince William, 42, at Guildhall in London on Monday, January 27. The event commemorated the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The princess wore an all-black ensemble with sentimental accessories, including Queen Elizabeth II’s Bahrain pearl drop earrings, multiple outlets including Tatler and Page Six reported.

The earrings were a gift to Queen Elizabeth by the Hakim of Bahrain to celebrate her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947. They were worn by the late Queen and other royals, including Princess Diana and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, on multiple occasions throughout the years.
