Tonight, the Princess of Wales made a statement in a dark red Givenchy by Sarah Burton gown for a state banquet at Windsor Castle to honour the French President, Emmanuel Macron. The flowing silk creponne gathered evening gown featured a cape back detailing.<\/p>\n
The Princess paired it with an evening clutch embroidered with a lily of the valley motif, as well as the Lover\u2019s Knot Tiara<\/a>. The diadem, made by the House of Garrard in 1913, consists of diamonds and a collection of 19 hanging pearls set in silver and gold. The Lover\u2019s Knot was famously a favourite of the late Princess Diana.<\/p>\n Photo: Getty Images<\/p>\n The Princess of Wales\u2019s choice of Sarah Burton for Givenchy is a clear statement of fashion diplomacy: a design by a British woman for a French fashion house, it serves as a sartorial symbol of the symbiotic relationship between the two European countries. Earlier today, Kate wore Dior<\/a> to welcome the Macrons to the UK \u2013\u00a0the first time we\u2019ve seen her wearing the French heritage house for a public outing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tonight, the Princess of Wales made a statement in a dark red Givenchy by Sarah Burton gown for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,2584,4884,12,2831,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-249075","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-fashion","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-princess-of-wales","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114819855365870133","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249075","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=249075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
