It's been almost two years since the Princess of Wales has worn a tiara, but that streak has finally been broken—and she made sure to pull out all the stops. Princess Kate attended her first state banquet since 2023 on Tuesday, July 8, joining the Royal Family at Windsor Castle after attending a ceremonial welcome for French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron.

In a first for the couple, Prince William and Princess Kate shared a photo on social media ahead of the banquet, writing, "Ready for what promises to be a wonderful State Banquet this evening in Windsor 🇫🇷🇬🇧."
