The state banquet hosted at Windsor Castle for US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania was a night of regal splendor. Attended by King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, the evening showcased royal elegance at its finest.
All eyes were on Kate Middleton, who stunned in a Phillipa Lepley silk crepe gown layered with a hand-embroidered golden Chantilly lace evening coat. Her look was elevated with the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, famously worn by Princess Diana.
The tiara, designed in 1914 by royal jeweler Garrard for Queen Mary, is one of the most iconic pieces in the British royal collection. Once owned by Diana, who admitted the piece was “so heavy it gave her headaches,” the tiara was placed in safekeeping at Buckingham Palace following her passing in 1997. It was later passed to Kate, who has worn it on several significant occasions.
Kate completed her look with pearl and diamond drop earrings and styled her blonde-highlighted hair in soft waves, letting the tiara take center stage.
The banquet itself was marked by symbolism and tradition, celebrating ties between the United States and the United Kingdom. But it was Kate’s golden ensemble and Diana’s tiara that truly stole the spotlight, embodying both royal history and timeless elegance.
