Princess Kate Shines in Largest Tiara Yet at State Banquet

Princess Kate wowed attendees with her most stunning ensemble to date. On Wednesday, December 3, the official Instagram of The Prince and Princess of Wales posted a photo of Kate, 43, alongside Prince William, who wore a classic tuxedo. The caption read, Looking forward to a special banquet tonight in Windsor.

For the German state banquet, the future queen chose Queen Victorias towering Oriental Circlet Tiara, the fifth tiara she has worn publicly and the largest of her collection. She paired it with a glittering blue gown by Jenny Packham and earrings that once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Her sparkling appearance immediately became the center of attention.

The tiara carried historical significance. Crafted in 1853 under Queen Victorias direction, with Prince Albert who was German-born involved, it served as a symbolic nod to the banquet, honoring German President Frank-Walter Steinmeiers visit. The piece is adorned with rubies and over 2,600 diamonds and had not been seen publicly since Queen Elizabeth wore it in 2005.

This glamorous outing marked Princess Kates return to full royal duties after her cancer remission earlier this year, reinforcing her continued role in royal engagements with elegance and poise.
