Kate Middleton dazzled in a stunning dress, complete with tiara and earrings - that have emotional ties to the late Queen - during the King's first Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday night.
The Princess of Wales and Prince William put on a brave face as they arrived at the venue, with the annual event coming just two days before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's "explosive" new Netflix documentary is set to air.
Kate looked stunning in a red embellished Jenny Packham gown, accessorising it with the Lotus Flower tiara that she wore at a diplomatic reception at the Palace in 2013, and again in 2015 for the China state banquet.
