The Duchess of Cambridge paid tribute to Prince William's
late mother by wearing her dazzling headpiece made of 19 diamond arches each
cradling a pearl drop. Diana wore the tiara often, choosing it for state
banquets after the Queen gave it to her as a wedding present in 1981, including
a dinner held in honour of Japanese Emperor Akihito in 1990 (right).
Kate paid touching tribute to the former Princess of Wales at the glittering event for 1,500 dignitaries from 130 countries by wearing the jewellery designed by Garrard in 1914. It is the fourth time Kate, 33, has worn a tiara, choosing the Cartier Halo tiara for her 2011 wedding, the Queen Mother's Lotus Flower tiara for the Queen's annual diplomatic reception in 2013 and the same headpiece at the state banquet in October. She was joined by a dapper Prince William and Prince Charles who were both in white tie for the event which is attended by senior royals and is the largest bash held annually at the Palace.
