It's been a year and a half since royal fans have seen the Princess of Wales in a tiara, but that might end this summer. On Tuesday, May 13, Buckingham Palace announced that French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, will be making a state visit to the United Kingdom from July 8 through 10. And although Princess Kate didn't take part in the banquet during last fall's Qatari state visit, it's possible she'll join Prince William, King Charles and Queen Camilla for a dazzling tiara event in July.
Although there were several white tie banquets last year, Princess Kate—who was diagnosed with cancer in March 2024—skipped the events as she was recovering from chemotherapy treatment. She missed the annual Diplomatic Corps Reception for the first time in a decade in November, and although she took part in welcoming the Amir of Qatar and his wife in December, the Princess of Wales stayed home from the evening banquet.
