It’s been a big week already for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: they’ve kicked off their first royal tour and announced that they’re expecting a baby next spring! And, perhaps most exciting of all, they’ve dug deep into the family jewelry vaults to bring out an heirloom surprise in Sydney.

At Admiralty House in Sydney on Tuesday morning, Meghan stepped out in a white dress accessorized with earrings and a bracelet that belonged to her late mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales.

The palace has confirmed that the pieces are from Diana’s personal jewelry collection. Here’s a good look at one of the butterfly earrings (which had a tendency to rotate a bit in Meghan’s ears, a typical issue with large stud earrings).

Here’s a good close-up view of the earrings from today’s appearance.

We also got a decent look at the bangle bracelet, also from Diana’s collection, as Harry and Meghan visited Taronga Zoo, where they met a baby koala named in Meghan’s honor.

Here’s a closer look at the piece, which, like the earrings, appears to be made of gold, diamonds, and enamel.

Meghan’s engagement and wedding rings were also visible during Tuesday’s daytime tour schedule.

I’m not sure the Sussexes can top a pregnancy announcement and an outing of Diana’s long-hidden jewels for the remainder of this lengthy tour, but I’m looking forward to seeing them try!
