In September, William and Kate attended a state banquet at Windsor Castle, marking Kate’s first public appearance at such an event in two years following her cancer treatment in 2024. The couple traveled in procession together to Frogmore House, located on the estate of Windsor Castle, where they settled. They then went to the formal banquet honoring German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
For this royal engagement, Kate chose a gorgeous deep blue floor-length sequinned dress by British designer Jenny Packham. The gown’s feminine asymmetric neckline and dramatic flowing cape shoulder detail were the perfect pairing for her modern sensual aesthetic. She made an impression with her glorious diamond and pearl Lover’s Knot tiara. This emotional ballad is most frequently associated with Diana, Princess of Wales.
