Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is not often seen in a tiara \u2013 here, she wears her beloved Lovers’ Knot during a state dinner for King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima in 2018 \u2013 but could the upcoming visit from Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, send Catherine back into the royal vaults?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since royal watchers caught a glimpse of a British royal wearing a tiara. Kate Middleton<\/a> chose not to attend the nation\u2019s last state banquet, held in honour of the Amir of Qatar, as she continued her recovery from cancer treatment. On foreign shores, Queen Camilla did away with headpieces during the banquet held in honour of her 20th wedding anniversary with King Charles. There has been, some might say, a dearth of diadems \u2013 a coronet crunch.<\/p>\n

But, perhaps the days of wanting are behind us, as the upcoming French state visit could provide the Princess of Wales<\/a> prime opportunity to don a tiara once more. Buckingham Palace announced this week that King Charles will host French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte for an official trip to Britain this Summer.<\/p>\n

With state visits, typically, come state banquets. Should the King and Queen choose to host such a ceremony in honour of their invit\u00e9s fran\u00e7ais between 8-10 July, it would in all likelihood offer up a chance for the royal women to pick out a favourite tiara for the occasion. The bejewelled headpieces can, after all, only be worn after 5 pm (with the exception of a royal wedding, which most certainly isn\u2019t on the schedule).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is not often seen in a tiara \u2013 here, she wears her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,29306,533,2832,532,2831,7710,519,9321,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-103013","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-jewellery","12":"tag-kate-middleton","13":"tag-prince-of-wales","14":"tag-prince-william","15":"tag-princess-of-wales","16":"tag-royal-families","17":"tag-royal-family","18":"tag-the-princess-of-wales","19":"tag-uk-royal-family","20":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114510853816577774","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
