The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester was the Princess off Wales’ latest royal engagement as to highlight the important work done at the cancer centre.
For the engagement, the Princess of Wales wore a pair of bespoke Vanleles diamond earrings, featuring the very important symbol of the bee.
The bee is synonymous with Manchester and has become a regular favourite of Kate’s during visits to the city. The symbol represents the history of Manchester as a city of industry and hard-working people.
During the visit, she met with young people undergoing chemotherapy and learned about the methods used within the hospital to help those during treatment.
The hub offers free holistic therapies to the over 60,000 patients it cares for each year. A host of other related therapies are available to the patients ranging from helping with stress and fear to anxiety and depression.
She first donned the honeycomb bee hoop earrings in 2022 during the opening of the Glade of Light Memorial at Manchester Cathedral.
The memorial commemorates victims of the terrorist attack in 2017 which took place after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.
VANLELES, founded by Vania Leles, is described as ‘the world’s first African high jewellery House‘.
The House aims to express the voice of the African continent in the world of fine jewellery. It is is favoured by many high profile figures including Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan and Rihanna.
When it comes to the diamonds in their jewels, VANLELES has a ‘strict policy’ of only using suppliers which comply with the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). This scheme monitors diamond trading to ensure that diamonds do not come any illegitimate sources or areas experiencing conflict.
