The Princess of Wales Looked Dazzling in Diamond Tiara at Stunning Royal Wedding
Prince William and Kate Middleton have attended the evening wedding reception of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and his new wife Princess Rajwa after making an under the radar trip to Jordan for the nuptials
BBC 2 JUNE 2023
The Princess of Wales pulled out all the stops in a dazzling tiara as she and Prince William joined guests from the around the world for a lavish banquet at the royal wedding of the year.
Kate wore the stunning Lover's Knot tiara teamed with a pink, embellished gown for the evening reception at the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and his new wife Princess Rajwa at the Al-Husseiniya Palace in Amman.
The Lover's Knot Tiara, a diamond and pearl-encrusted headpiece made in 1914, was often worn by her namesake Diana, Princess of Wales.
The sparkling headpiece was made by Royal jeweller Garrard, from pearls and diamonds already in to Queen Mary's possession. However, it was a copy of one owned by her grandmother, Princess Augusta of Hesse, who married the first Duke of Cambridge in 1818.
It was given to Diana by the Queen as a wedding gift in 1981, and she wore it for the first time at the state opening of parliament that November.
Following her death, the glistening headpiece was passed down to Kate, it is now perhaps her most favourite pieces of royal jewellery.
Earlier, Kate had stunned in a blush Elie Saab dress as she and William alongside Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi watched the happy couple tie the knot in front of 140 guest at the Zahran Palace before a motorcade of red Land Rovers escorted the newlyweds through the streets of Amman.
It was only announced this morning that William and Kate would be at the wedding after they were spotted at a hotel in Amman and it is the first time they have attended a major royal international event together.
Tonight's wedding reception is the first time Kate has worn a tiara since the Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace in December. No royals wore tiaras for King Charles' Coronation last month with Kate opting for a flower headpiece by Alexander McQueen and Jess Collett instead.
