Kate Middleton keeps her kids close to her heart when she's traveling with a very special accessory.
Earlier this week, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out for an appearance at the Ely and Careau Children’s Centre in Cardiff, Wales wearing a personalized, 9-carat recycled gold charm necklace.
Kate's pendant comes courtesy of luxury designer Daniella Draper and retails for £1,020 (or about $1,334, for those of us paying for goods in US dollars). The necklace is the designer's Gold Midnight Moon necklace and Kate had hers engraved with the initials of her three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
"The moon is universally representing the rhythm of time as it embodies the cycle. The phases of the moon symbolise immortality, eternity and enlightenment," the Daniella Draper website says of the popular charm.
