So nice, Her Royal Highness has worn it twice...this year! The Princess of Wales made a glittering appearance at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening. She and the Prince of Wales joined King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the annual Diplomatic Reception.

It was a stunning repeat for the Princess, who wore the same outfit and jewels in June to Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan’s royal wedding banquet.
Like she did in Jordan, Catherine styled her hair down for the Diplomatic Reception on Dec. 5. The Diplomatic Reception sees the King, Queen and other royal family members welcome over 500 members of the Diplomatic Corps at Buckingham Palace.

Queen Camilla also dazzled on Dec. 5 wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara with a cream embroidered evening gown by Fiona Clare, as well as the Queen Mother’s diamond brooch and Queen Elizabeth’s diamond bracelet.

In the afternoon, the Princess of Wales, who is patron of Evelina Children’s Hospital, opened the hospital’s new Children’s Day Surgery Unit. Meanwhile, Prince William reunited on Tuesday morning with Big Issue vendor Dave Martin to sell copies of the latest Big Issue magazine. During their meeting, Dave and the future King, who sold magazines together in 2022, exchanged Christmas cards. Dave said, “It was very nice to see Prince William again.”
