On Thursday, the Princess Royal attended the annual Founder’s Day Parade at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where she wore a very sparkling piece of jewelry.

Founder’s Day is also known as Oak Apple Day, and the Chelsea Pensioners always affix oak leaves to their uniforms for the parade. (It’s because this day in part commemorates Restoration Day, a old national British holiday that involves Charles II hiding out in an oak tree. I’ll direct you to Wikipedia for more.) Princess Anne secured her oak leaves with a diamond and pearl brooch in the shape of a wild rose.

Here’s a closer look at the details of the brooch from today’s parade.

If the brooch looks familiar, that’s probably because it’s been in Anne’s collection for a while. One of her most prominent outings of the piece was the 2011 wedding of her nephew, the Duke of Cambridge.
