Princess Kate could be set to have a special moment soon that she hasn’t experienced in the last two years. The Princess of Wales, 43, may be able to wear a royal tiara this July for the French state visit, which is set to take place from July 8 until July 10.
Buckingham Palace previously announced that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte will be visiting the UK and will stay at Windsor Castle as a result of renovation work at Buckingham Palace. They will also be treated to a formal state banquet at the castle in their honour.
King Charles and Queen Camilla will host the banquet and will be joined by a number of senior royals, with Prince William and Princess Kate likely to attend, especially as they live just a stone’s throw away from the castle.
As reported by Hello!, at previous royal banquets, royal ladies, including the Princess of Wales, usually wear stunning tiaras from the royal collection.
Princess Kate hasn’t worn a tiara since December 2023, having missed the state banquet held for The Amir of the State of Qatar last year. This is because the princess was returning to royal duties gradually as a result of her cancer diagnosis and treatment, which is now in remission.
While it is not yet known which tiara Kate will wear for the occasion if she attends, royal fans will no doubt be excited.
The princess has reportedly worn four tiaras from the royal family’s jewellery collection since marrying Prince William in 2011. These are the Cartier Halo, the Lotus Flower, the Lover’s Knot and the Strathmore Rose tiaras.
The Princess’ first tiara moment was on her wedding day to Prince William in 2011, marking the start of her life of royal duty.
She borrowed the tiara, which has 739 brilliant-cut diamonds and 149 baguette diamonds, from the late Queen Elizabeth II.
It has not yet been confirmed which members of the Royal Family will be at the state banquet in July, however it is believed Prince William and Princess Kate will play some role in the state visit.
