Princess Kate<\/a> radiated elegance tonight in a custom couture creation by British designer Phillipa Lepley, as she joined her husband, Prince William<\/a>, and other senior royals for tonight’s state banquet at Windsor Castle. Her gown was layered beneath a full-length Chantilly lace coat, featuring hand-embroidered roses in gold cording.<\/p>\n

The intricate needlework was accented with French knots, that complimented her glittering tiara and satin-stitched blooms. The regal display of craftsmanship spoke to her quiet dedication to supporting British fashion and artistry.<\/p>\n

She completed the look with the Lover\u2019s Knot Tiara<\/a>, a beloved royal heirloom, paired with earrings from the collection of the late Queen.<\/p>\n

Worn across her gown were the Royal Family Order of King Charles III<\/a>, Queen Elizabeth II,<\/a> and the Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, finished with star and sash.<\/p>\n

The ensemble balanced modern couture with regal tradition, weaving together heritage and contemporary design in a way that felt uniquely her own.<\/p>\n

The Lover\u2019s Knot Tiara has become one of the Princess of Wales\u2019s most recognisable jewels, a piece she first debuted in December 2015 at a Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

Since then, it has accompanied her on numerous important occasions – from state banquets to further diplomatic receptions, and even the royal wedding of Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan back in June 2023.<\/p>\n

A firm favourite in her collection, the tiara carries a legacy that resonates deeply. Once a signature of Princess Diana<\/a>, its design of diamond arches and suspended pearl drops has made it one of the most iconic diadems in the royal vault.<\/p>\n

Today, its value is estimated at over \u00a34 million – though its history and symbolism make it priceless in the eyes of many.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a> and the First Lady will be wined and dined in the impressive St George’s Hall with 160 guests. This evening, an exquisite three-course menu will be on offer, alongside specially selected wines and a bespoke cocktail.<\/p>\n

The dress code is tiaras and white tie – or national dress. Members of the Royal Family wear sashes and badges known as orders if they have been given them in recognition of royal service.<\/p>\n

The King and the President will both give speeches at around 8:30pm before dinner is served. Both men will raise a toast to one another, followed by the playing of the national anthems.<\/p>\n

The end of the banquet is signalled by the arrival of 12 pipers processing round the room, a tradition started by Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Kate radiated elegance tonight in a custom couture creation by British designer Phillipa Lepley, as she joined…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431965,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[32,77,8606,73676,48911,8689,144355,146906,2831,94439,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-431964","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-princess-kate","11":"tag-princess-kate-fashion","12":"tag-princess-kate-latest","13":"tag-princess-kate-news","14":"tag-princess-kate-style","15":"tag-princess-kate-tiara","16":"tag-princess-of-wales","17":"tag-state-visit","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115221473878498123","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431964","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=431964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
