Kate Middleton turned heads as she stepped out in the iconic Lover’s Knot Tiara, a dazzling heirloom once favored by her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. The current Princess of Wales joined the royal family at a state banquet honoring US President Donald Trump on September 17, held at Windsor Castle.
The Lover’s Knot Tiara, one of Catherine’s most worn and cherished pieces, is also the heaviest in her collection. Encrusted with pearls and diamonds, the headpiece features 19 arches and 28 drop-shaped pearls. Originally commissioned for Queen Mary, it was later passed down to Queen Elizabeth II and then to Princess Diana.
Catherine wore this same tiara during the state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron. But beyond tiaras and crowns, the royal family is known for rewearing outfits and accessories—embracing hand-me-downs as part of their sometimes-outrageous tradition.
