Kate Middleton Wears Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, a Diana Favorite, to Oman State Banquet at Windsor Castle

During a state banquet at Windsor Castle in honor of the Sultan of Oman, the Princess of Wales dazzled in a new yellow gown by Elie Saab, complemented by the iconic Lover's Knot tiara, historically linked to Princess Diana. This tiara, crafted by the House of Garrard in 1913 for Queen Mary, is a replica of the Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara, adorned with diamonds and pearls set in silver and gold. After being gifted to Diana by Queen Elizabeth, it became one of her favorites. This event marked the princess's second appearance with the tiara this year, following its debut at the Nigerian state banquet in March. At the Oman dinner, she accessorized with an Anya Hindmarch clutch, Queen Mary's diamond choker bracelet, and the insignia of the Royal Victorian Order. The banquet concluded the first day of a three-day state visit, Oman's first to the UK in 44 years. Earlier, the princess welcomed the Sultan in a green Alexander McQueen coat and a quilted Chanel bag.
