毫無疑問，這件東西是對她已故祖母的一種視覺敬意。眾所周知，英女王喜歡馬和騎馬。「我認為這是她一生的愛好，她喜歡它，你可以看出她有多喜歡它。」卡米拉王妃曾經告訴ITV，英女王經常被發現在溫莎城堡的場地上騎馬，直到她90歲。
她的母親也就是剛受封新頭銜威爾士公主的 Kate Middleton ，也一起通過珠寶配飾來紀念英國在位最久的君主。她戴著一條獲英女王轉贈的鑽石扣珍珠項鍊。Kate Middleton 曾在2017年英女王和菲臘親王的70週年結婚紀念日上佩戴這款感情豐富的首飾，並在2021年4月菲臘親王的葬禮上再次佩戴，因此可見 Kate Middleton 三度戴上這意義非凡珠寶的原因。

珍珠與王室女性哀悼有着長期的聯繫——維多利亞女王在1861年戴著它們來紀念她的丈夫Albert 王子的離去，幾個世紀以來的貴族們也紛紛效仿。 「這在很大程度上是一種傳統，」作家兼珠寶歷史學家 Vivienne Becker 曾告訴過《VOGUE》英國版。「這都是關於顏色的壓制，而且珍珠也不是閃閃發光或張揚的。通過選擇它們，象徵配戴着的低調和尊重。」
