The newly minted Princess of Wales has attendned her first state banquet in her new position and she looked smashing.
I know a big to do is made about her wearing the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara as it was a favorite of Diana's....or Diana wore it a lot anyway, being called a favorite is, I suppose, a debatable moniker.
I was sort of hoping she would trot out something new for this occasion. I don't wear much jewelry myself but I do get a kick out of seeing all the sparkly things the royal ladies wear and while I was hoping to see what new things Kate had access to in her new role I must say she does look very good in this one. I can't tell if it is the just the big hairdo Diana is sporting in the side by side photo here or what but it just seems to fit Kate so much better. I just like how Kate carries it more than Diana did.
Either way, the Princess certainly had a sartorial triumph at the banquet and I don't think Camilla looked bad either though I didn't get a good look at her tiara in this article. I'm not sure which one it is.
ETA: Good lord, all I had to do was scroll down further to get a better look at the Queen's tiara. I don't think I have seen this one before. Are those amethysts? I can't say it's my favorite in the Windsor vaults but I have seen others I like less. And it's not the honeycombed Greville tiara yet again.....though she does pull that off with aplomb.
I suppose I'm surprised at that choice in her first tiara appearance as Queen Consort. She (presumably, I guess I don't know for sure) has access to everything in the vaults now, I suppose I would have expected a grander choice but yay for something new!!!
