Royal Family Hosts Glamorous Diplomatic Reception with Queen Camilla in Stunning Tiara
The Royal Family’s most glamorous event of the year, the reception for members of The Diplomatic Corps, took place on Tuesday evening at Buckingham Palace, drawing a dazzling array of guests.
The reception, held in the state rooms, is a highlight of the royal calendar, and this year, it was made even more special with Queen Camilla’s stunning choice of jewelry and elegant fashion.
The dress code for the event was a blend of royal tradition and glamor, with guests wearing either national dress or long evening gowns, and tiaras being a must.
As always, the royal family played a central role in the evening’s activities, greeting guests in a long line before the drinks reception, buffet dinner, and dancing in the ballroom. King Charles III, dressed in white tie with traditional knee breaches and buckled shoes, was seen warmly engaging with the crowd, embodying the royal family’s welcoming spirit.
The event also marked a rare occasion where Prince William appeared in full white tie, displaying the Order of the Garter blue sash, the Lesser George badge, the Garter star, and the thistle star, along with miniature medals commemorating the golden, diamond, and platinum jubilees, as well as the recent coronation.
Despite a difficult year, Princess Catherine continues to show her strength and commitment to the royal family’s mission of public service. The event on Tuesday was a moment for the royals to show a united front, particularly following Queen Camilla’s recent recovery from a chest infection and the loss of her beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Beth, who passed away over the weekend.
