Princess Kate Just Wore a Tiara Again—But Not in the Way You'd Expect—and It's a Major Tribute to Princess Diana

It's been quite a while since Kate Middleton has worn a tiara—December 2023, to be exact. And although there's a good chance royal fans will see the Princess of Wales at this summer's upcoming state banquet, the public got a surprise (albeit, indirect) tiara moment from the royal on Wednesday, May 21. Madame Tussauds, London's famed wax museum, announced that it has given the princess's wax figure a glamorous new makeover that's a tribute to her most recent white tie outing—and one accessory follows in the footsteps of Princess Diana.

The Princess of Wales wore a bedazzled pink Jenny Packham gown and her go-to pearl and diamond piece, Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, to the December 2023 Diplomatic Corps Reception at Buckingham Palace.
