The Princess of Wales repeats shimmering look from royal wedding

So nice, Her Royal Highness has worn it twice...this year! The  Princess of Wales  made a glittering appearance at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening. She and the  Prince of Wales  joined  King Charles III  and  Queen Camilla  at the annual Diplomatic Reception.

Catherine sparkled wearing a pink Jenny Packham sequin gown paired with the Lover’s Knot Tiara and the Greville Diamond Chandelier earrings. It was a stunning repeat for the Princess, who wore the same outfit and jewels in June to  Crown Prince Hussein   and Princess Rajwa of Jordan’s royal wedding banquet.

Like she did in Jordan, Catherine styled her hair down for the Diplomatic Reception on Dec. 5. The Diplomatic Reception sees the King, Queen and other royal family members welcome over 500 members of the Diplomatic Corps at Buckingham Palace.

Their Majesties and the Prince and Princess of Wales posed for a group photo in Buckingham Palace’s 1844 Room ahead of the reception. Queen Camilla also dazzled on Dec. 5 wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara with a cream embroidered evening gown by Fiona Clare, as well as the Queen Mother’s diamond brooch and Queen Elizabeth’s diamond bracelet.

Both Prince William and Catherine were out earlier in the day. In the afternoon, the Princess of Wales, who is patron of Evelina Children’s Hospital, opened the hospital’s new Children’s Day Surgery Unit. Meanwhile, Prince William reunited on Tuesday morning with Big Issue vendor Dave Martin to sell copies of the latest Big Issue magazine. During their meeting, Dave and the future King, who sold magazines together in 2022, exchanged Christmas cards. Dave said, “It was very nice to see Prince William again.”
