Urgent statement about Kate Middleton and the inheritance she received: there's controversy

A great stir has just been caused around Kate Middleton upon confirmation, through an urgent statement, of the inheritance she received from Queen Elizabeth II after her passing. According to reports, she received more than 80 million euros in jewelry.

As reported by the newspaper The Sun, Kate has received the most valuable part of the monarch's personal jewelry collection. It is a collection of approximately ten pieces, whose value would be around 81 million euros.

Initially, after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, it was her son, now King Charles III, who received the majority of her inheritance. A personal estate estimated at about 650 million euros.

Meanwhile, the monarch's inheritance includes, in addition to the jewelry, the Sandringham and Balmoral castles, artworks, a mare, and a large part of her personal wardrobe. These are pieces of incalculable value, both historical and economic.

However, the fate of her personal jewelry was yet to be determined. The women of the royal family have been the main recipients of this part of Elizabeth II's inheritance. For this reason, these pieces are currently at the disposal of both the queen consort and Kate Middleton.

All the jewelry Kate Middleton inherited from Queen Elizabeth II is revealed: 81 million euros

The majority of the jewelry that Elizabeth II wore at official events during her reign was part of the Crown's heritage and has been passed down from generation to generation. This is why both Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton can now use them.

However, in addition to the jewelry belonging to the Crown, the monarch also had a private collection that was no less valuable. It was a personal jewelry box composed of about 200 pieces that she could freely distribute among her family members.

This exclusive collection included 98 brooches, 34 pairs of earrings, 14 watches, 46 necklaces, 15 rings, and five pendants, with an estimated value of several hundred million euros.

As queen consort, Camilla was the first to have access to Elizabeth II's personal jewelry and was able to select the most valuable pieces. Over time, it has become evident that among her favorites are those belonging to the Greville legacy.

Her inheritance includes more than a dozen tiaras with diamonds and emeralds, as well as diamond, ruby, and emerald necklaces, earrings, and 'devant corsage' brooches. Among the pieces Camilla has worn the most are the Greville necklace and the Greville tiara.

After this distribution was defined, Kate Middleton has received some of the most significant pieces from Elizabeth II's personal jewelry box. In total, Kate Middleton would have inherited ten pieces whose value is estimated at 81 million euros, making her the main beneficiary.

Among the pieces, the Hyderabad necklace stands out, considered the most expensive jewel. This piece, one of the monarch's favorites, was a wedding gift in 1947 from the Nizam of Hyderabad.

The necklace that now belongs to Kate Middleton was created by the Cartier firm in 1935 and is adorned with more than 50 large diamonds arranged in various floral designs.

Another valuable piece that Kate Middleton has inherited is the George VI Festoon necklace. The Princess of Wales wore it in the official photographs taken after the coronation of Charles III.

This piece is made up of three strands of diamonds and is estimated to be worth 2.8 million euros. Additionally, among the other notable jewels are leaf-shaped earrings and a matching brooch, valued at about 45,000 euros.
