The Princess of Wales graced the annual diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace, joining other members of the Royal Family in welcoming over 500 diplomats to the State Rooms.
Kate Middleton, adorned with a stunning piece from the Royal Collection, made a grand entrance alongside Prince William, King Charles, and Queen Camilla on Tuesday night.
The event, hosted by the Royals each year, saw the Lotus Flower Tiara adorning Kate, 40, for the first time since 2015.
This exquisite tiara holds a rich history, having been crafted from a necklace gifted to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, by her husband, the future King George VI.
The Lotus Flower Tiara has a legacy that extends beyond the Royal Family, as it was also worn by Princess Margaret before being passed on to Serena Stanhope for her wedding to Margaret's son in 1993.
Princess Kate elegantly paired the tiara with a red Jenny Packham gown, a blue ribbon, and her yellow Royal Family Order, complemented by a pair of earrings once owned by Queen Elizabeth I.
Queen Camilla also graced the reception in Queen Elizabeth II's Belgian Sapphire Tiara, adding to the regal splendor of the evening.
In a departure from tradition, the diplomatic reception had been postponed in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Following the advice of the UK's Foreign Secretary, the event was rescheduled after the passing of Queen Elizabeth in September.
Just two weeks after her tiara debut, Princess Kate dazzled once again at a state dinner honoring South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, donning Queen Mary's Lovers Knot Tiara, a beloved piece previously worn by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
The Lovers Knot Tiara, ordered by Queen Mary from jeweler Gerard in the early 20th century, exudes timeless elegance with its diamond knots and dangling pearls.
The tiara, a replica of one worn by Princess Augusta of Hesse, Mary's grandmother, was flawlessly accessorized by Princess Kate with Queen's bracelet and Princess Diana's earrings.
Prior to this event, Kate had not worn a tiara in three years, with her last appearance in such headgear dating back to December 2019.
