Among a room of royals and high profile guests, Kate Middleton stole the spotlight on Wednesday night as she attended a state banquet held for Donald and Melania Trump.
Mother-of-three Kate was described as ‘stunning’ by royal watchers who described her look as ‘breathtaking’.
The US president and First Lady are currently in the UK undertaking a state visit, and the occasion was marked in style as they joined King Charles, 76, Queen Camilla, 77, Prince William, and Kate, both 43, at the Windsor Castle event.
And Kate, 43, looked dazzling, sporting a Phillipa Lepley silk crepe gown underneath a hand-embroidered gold Chantilly lace evening coat. She also donned the late Queen Elizabeth II’s and the King’s Royal Family Order and a blue sash, representing that she is a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order
Notably, she also wore the famous Lover’s Knot tiara, which was once owned by Princess Diana and was kept in a safe at Buckingham Palace after her 1997 death before it was handed to Kate.
The headpiece – which Diana said was so heavy it gave her headaches – was made by Royal jewellers Garrard in 1914 to Queen Mary’s personal design, from pearls and diamonds already in her family’s possession.
Prince William’s wife wore her newly bronde tresses loose, letting them fall in soft waves underneath her tiara. She accessorised her look with a pair of drop earrings.
Royal watchers were huge fans of the princess’ look, taking to social media to praise her style.
