Princess Kate dazzles in Princess Diana's iconic tiara at state dinner
The Princess of Wales paired Queen Mary’s tiara with a new yellow gown and heirloom brooches, underscoring royal continuity at the diplomatic dinner.
- On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the Princess of Wales hosted the Sultan of Oman for a state banquet at Windsor Castle, wearing the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, her most frequently worn heirloom.
- Commissioned in 1914 by Queen Mary, the Lover's Knot Tiara features 19 arches and 28 pearls and became a signature piece for Princess Diana before passing to the current Princess of Wales.
- Kate affixed the Prince of Wales Feathers Brooch to her yellow Elie Saab gown; also known as the Ladies of North Wales Brooch, it was presented to Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863 as a wedding gift.
- Antique jeweler Justin Daughters noted that pairing historic accessories with contemporary designs creates a "visible connection between generations of women who have held the title," preserving royal history while maintaining individuality.
- This state visit marks the first time a Sultan of Oman has visited the United Kingdom in 44 years, with the banquet concluding the first day of the three-day official visit reflecting long-standing diplomatic ties.
