Princess Catherine turned heads as she graced a glitzy South Korean state banquet with Prince William on Tuesday evening.
The Duchess of Cambridge made a stunning entrance, wearing a tiara that had not been seen in almost a century.
This rare sighting of the tiara has excited fans of the British royal family.
The state banquet was held to honor South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yool during his visit to the United Kingdom.
The tiara that Princess Kate wore is known as the Strathmore Rose Tiara, which once belonged to the late Queen Mother.
It was a wedding gift given to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Leon, later known as the Queen Mother, by her father, the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn, in 1923.
In the 1920s, it was fashionable to wear the tiara across the forehead, and the Princess of Wales embraced this style.
She paired the tiara with a white Jenny Packham gown adorned with gold floral detailing.
Kate’s elegant half-updo allowed the late Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond pendant earrings to be prominently displayed.
The Duchess looked radiant on the first day of the state visit, capturing everyone’s attention with her regal appearance.
Her choice of outfit, a billowing cape dress with an oversized bow at the neckline, designed by Catherine Walker, further solidified her status as a future queen.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle, always seeking to steal the spotlight from the royal family, resorted to staged photos of herself.
In an attempt to overshadow Kate’s tiara moment, Meghan released photos of her visit to the charity Justice for Girls in Vancouver.
It is disheartening to see reputable non-profit organizations associating themselves with someone who has shown such disregard for her own family and husband’s family.
In these paparazzi photos, Meghan can be seen flaunting her jewelry, as if trying to compete with Kate’s royal jewels.
She also wore a white outfit, coincidentally matching Kate’s gown at the state banquet.
However, the grandeur of Catherine in the Strathmore Rose Tiara easily overshadowed Meghan’s attempts at attention-seeking.
It is now apparent that Meghan was ill-suited for royal service.
If she had exercised restraint, kept a low profile, and dedicated herself to her role as a working royal, she too could have participated in events like this.
However, her actions have only served to distance her further from the royal family.
Adding insult to injury, Blackpink, one of the world’s biggest fandoms, also attended the state banquet, diverting attention away from Meghan’s recent antics.
This has effectively rendered her stunts insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Furthermore, the charity Justice for Girls Canada disabled comments on their Instagram post, possibly in an attempt to avoid negative feedback for allowing Meghan to use their platform for a photo-op.
It raises questions about the true purpose of these outings.
Is Meghan making substantial donations?
Is she an official representative of any organization?
The stylized video package released by Meghan, featuring her hair blowing in slow motion and exaggerated laughter, only adds to the speculation surrounding her intentions.
The Harkles, as Meghan and Harry are often referred to, seem consumed by jealousy.
As soon as the South Korean state visit was announced a month ago, Meghan began planning surprise visits that conveniently coincided with the dates.
Their predictability is becoming more evident with each passing day.
In conclusion, Princess Kate’s appearance at the state banquet, adorned in the rare Strathmore Rose Tiara, captured the attention of all.
Her grace and elegance were undeniable, solidifying her status as a future queen.
On the other hand, Meghan Markle’s attempts to steal the spotlight through staged photos and strategic appearances only serve to further alienate her from the royal family.
