In its Jan. 24 issue, New Idea claimed that the queen surprised Middleton with several pieces of jewelry from her private collection.
“Her Majesty was extremely generous on Kate’s birthday and gifted her with some jewels from her private collection, which we’ll no doubt see her wearing at special occasions in the near future. But there was one very special diamond set that brought tears to Kate’s eyes – the Coronation necklace and earrings,” the source said.
