Princess Catherine looked absolutely stunning as she graced the glittering state banquet at Buckingham Palace this evening.
The 41-year-old, accompanied by her husband Prince William and other senior royals, attended the white tie and tiara event as part of the President of South Korea’s official visit to the UK.
Princess Catherine’s attire was nothing short of flawless, with her choice of a pristine white gown and striking jewelry stealing the show.
One particular piece that caught everyone’s attention was the Strathmore rose tiara, a rare gem that hasn’t been seen publicly since the 1930s.
This exquisite royal jewelry, belonging to the late Queen Mother, made a dazzling comeback after decades of being hidden away.
Paired with the tiara, Princess Catherine wore earrings that once belonged to the late Queen, completing her regal ensemble.
The state banquet, hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla, welcomed President Yoon Suk-yol and his wife Kim Ki-yeon for their three-day visit.
This visit holds significance as it marks the first time King Charles has hosted since his coronation in May.
The banquet took place in the opulent Palace Ballroom, where 170 guests gathered to celebrate the occasion.
Prince William, alongside his stunning wife, looked dashing in a black suit, adding to the elegance of the evening.
Earlier in the day, the Prince and Princess of Wales had the honor of greeting the President and the First Lady at their hotel, followed by a grand royal welcome on Horse Guards Parade.
The procession, filled with pomp and pageantry, led the guests down the Mall to the Palace.
The day’s events also included a private lunch at the Palace and a visit to the Picture Gallery to view the royal collection exhibits.
Mr. Yoon paid tribute to the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey, laying a wreath in remembrance.
Furthermore, he delivered an address in the Royal Gallery at the Palace of Westminster to members of both Houses of Parliament.
Throughout the day, Princess Catherine showcased her impeccable fashion sense, leaving royal fans in awe.
Stepping out of a car, she donned a striking red cape-style coat by Catherine Walker, paired with a matching hat.
The vibrant red ensemble was completed with red heels, maintaining a consistent theme.
Later in the day, a wreath-laying ceremony at the Korean War Memorial was scheduled to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the war’s end.
This event was attended by the Korean couple and the Duke of Gloucester.
It marked the first day of the Korean couple’s visit to the United Kingdom, which will span three days.
