William and Kate’s royal tour switches gears today, as they leave India to spend some time in Bhutan. Kate wore a new pair of earrings for their arrival at the airport in Paro.

Here’s a closer look at the earrings. The people of Bhutan often wear jewelry made of intricate designs in gold or silver. I don’t think we have an ID of this pair yet, but as I said in my tour preview posts, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Kate wearing some local jewelry on this part of the tour.

William and Kate were greeted at the airport by the king’s elder sister, Princess Chimi Yangzom Wangchuck and her husband, Dasho Sangay Wangchuck. They’re a seriously educated royal couple — the princess has degrees in international relations and economics from Wellesley, plus a master’s degree from Columbia; her husband is apparently also in the process of completing a master’s degree from Columbia.
