Kate Middleton looked stunning in Princess Diana’s tiara as she arrived for a private event at Buckingham Palace Tuesday evening.
The Duchess of Cambridge was pictured smiling as she arrived for a Diplomatic Reception at the palace with Prince William.
Known for recycling her favourite dresses, Kate also re-wears her best jewels and once again opted for Princess Diana’s Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara and the Princess of Wales’ Collingwood Pearl Drop Earrings for the private event.
The Queen hosts the Diplomatic Reception in early December to honour foreign diplomats and ambassadors.
