The Hera White Gold and Diamond Drop Earrings worn by the Princess are a tribute to the Greek Goddess Hera.
Hera is a goddess from ancient Greek mythology and is the patron saint of marriage, women, and family, she is also the protector of women during childbirth. As the Princess was visiting a maternity unit, this was clearly a well-thought-out accessory that has a sweet connection to the purpose of the engagement.
