The Princess of Wales, Catherine, made a breathtaking appearance at the annual diplomatic corps reception held at Buckingham Palace.

Stepping out alongside her husband, the Prince of Wales, Catherine turned heads in a mesmerizing scarlet gown designed by Jenny Packham.

The elegant dress was adorned with gem embellishments that added a touch of glamour to her ensemble.

Completing her regal look, she wore the lotus flower tiara, a favorite of Princess Margaret, and the Queen’s diamond earrings.

The prestigious event marked the first diplomatic corps reception in three years, and the Royal Family warmly welcomed diplomats to their London residence.

King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, and Catherine greeted hundreds of guests at the glittering affair.

Catherine’s long brown tresses cascaded down her back as she showcased the Queen’s diamond frame earrings, along with Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Family Order and her blue Royal Victorian Order sash.

This reception holds significant importance as it is the first of its kind during King Charles’ reign.

The monarch, accompanied by his consort Camilla, their eldest son and heir to the throne, William, and Catherine, the future Queen, graciously received foreign ambassadors in the State Rooms of the Royal Residency.

Catherine’s choice of the lotus flower tiara, also known as the Queen Mother’s papyrus tiara, added a touch of history to her ensemble.

This exquisite piece, made of diamonds in fanned motifs with floating diamond arches, once belonged to Princess Margaret.

Catherine had previously worn this tiara to the diplomatic reception in 2013 and to her first state banquet in the UK during the Chinese state visit in 2015.

Camilla, too, exuded elegance as she donned the late Queen’s diamond and sapphire tiara and necklace.

She selected these stunning pieces for the recent South African state banquet, pairing them with an Anna Valentine gown.

The late Queen had intended to host the White Tie Gathering at Windsor Castle in March of this year.

Unfortunately, it had to be postponed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Traditionally held every December, the reception was canceled in both 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic.

The event typically features a buffet supper and dancing, providing a joyous atmosphere for all attendees.

The Diplomatic Corps reception at Buckingham Palace is a momentous occasion where the monarch hosts representatives from countries accredited to the Court of Estee, James.

Up to 2,000 guests are invited to celebrate the presence of one of the largest diplomatic corps in the world.

It serves as an opportunity for the King and Queen to engage with international counterparts and strengthen diplomatic ties.

In another heartwarming display of their affection, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared behind-the-scenes moments from this year’s Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony in Boston.

Catherine looked effortlessly elegant in an off-the-shoulder dress, her chestnut tresses flowing down her back.

The couple was captured in intimate shots, with William’s arm lovingly wrapped around his wife.

Catherine was seen clapping for her husband as he spoke at the podium.

She accessorized her ensemble with a glamorous choker previously worn by her mother-in-law, Princess Diana, and chic earrings.
