Princess Kate - Glamorous appearance with a tiara
The four most important British royals presented themselves in good spirits and as a unit at a pre-Christmas event for 500 members of the diplomatic corps on Tuesday evening. It was the first joint appearance by King Charles III (75), Queen Camilla (76), heir to the throne Prince William (41) and his wife Kate (41) since the publication of the tell-all book "Endgame" by Omid Scobie (42), which has caused a new stir around the royal family. Princess Kate in particular shone as an eye-catcher - she presented a tiara for the second time in two weeks.
The royal family smiles away the scandals
At the annual event at Buckingham Palace, the royals traditionally welcome the members of the diplomatic corps. This time, the royal observers were particularly interested in how the family was behaving following the scandal surrounding new allegations of racism. They quickly realized that the royals were not letting anything show and were acting professionally as usual. And of course, Princess Kate 's outfit was the focus of attention as usual. This time, the mother of three chose her beloved "Queen Mary's Lover's Knot" tiara. It is the royal headdress she has worn most often to date - she has now worn the accessory twelve times since 2015.
The piece was also a favorite of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana (1961-1997). The tiara is over 100 years old and was originally commissioned by Queen Mary from the jeweler Garrard in 1913 or 1914. It is a replica of a tiara that belonged to Mary's grandmother Princess Augusta of Hesse. Kate last wore the "Lover's Knot" tiara in June at the royal wedding banquet of Crown Prince Hussein (29) and Princess Rajwa (29) of Jordan. At the current reception, she even recreated her entire wedding look. She wore the same sparkling Jenny Packham dress with her tiara. The Princess of Wales even chose the same earrings. Only the blue sash of the Royal Victorian Order marked a difference.
It was Kate's second glamorous appearance at Buckingham Palace in two weeks. She also wore a tiara to the reception for the President of the Republic of Korea, Yoon Suk Yeo (62) and his wife, creating a real surprise: the "Strathmore Rose Tiara" had not been worn in public since the 1930s.
The royal couple'sInstagram page paid tribute to the evening for the "ambassadors of the world". The reception celebrated London as "home to one of the largest diplomatic corps in the world". A number of impressions of the event were posted - including a picture of the royal couple and the heir to the throne together.
The new "fantastic four"
According to The Sun, the Royal Family wanted to present themselves as a strong unit following the new allegations of racism in Omid Scobie's tell-all book "Endgame". The two couples visibly formed the "new fantastic four" - after the split with Harry (39) and Meghan (42). Queen Camilla also wore a tiara, the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara". She chose a cream-colored, embroidered evening dress by Fiona Clare, a diamond brooch from the Queen Mother and a diamond bracelet from the late Queen.

In the wake of the controversy sparked by Omid Scobie's revelation book "Endgame", the Royal Family, including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Duchess Kate, decided to put on a united front during a pre-Christmas event for the diplomatic corps, with Kate's royal look, complete with a tiara, being a particular focal point.
Despite the allegations of racism, the royal family maintained their composure and professionalism at the annual event held at Buckingham Palace. The tiara chosen by Kate for the occasion was none other than "Queen Mary's Lover's Knot", a piece that has been a favorite of both Kate and her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
The decisions made by Kate, from her choice of jewelry to replicating her wedding look, all served to highlight her regal elegance and pay tribute to her family's legacy. The Lover's Knot tiara, in particular, is over 100 years old and holds sentimental value for the British Royal Family.
Following this appearance, Kate repeated her glamorous display at another Buckingham Palace event, this time wearing the "Strathmore Rose Tiara" around her head. This was the first time the tiara had been seen in public since the 1930s, further showcasing Kate's appreciation for the rich history of the Royal Family's jewelry collection.
In the midst of these grand displays, the royal couple also took to their Instagram page to celebrate the event and pay tribute to the members of the diplomatic corps. By posting various pictures and impressions from the evening, they demonstrated their gratitude for their role as a cultural and diplomatic pillar in the world.
In contrast to the photogenic appearances of the senior royals, recent reports in The Sun suggest that the Royal Family is working hard to present themselves as a cohesive unit following the scandal caused by Omid Scobie's book. Through their united front, they hope to create a new image for the "fantastic four" – the current royals, including Queen Camilla, who wore another stunning tiara during the event.
