The Duchess of Cambridge certainly has her pick of royal tiaras [1], but it looks like she keeps coming back to one in particular: the Cambridge Lover's Knot [2]. While attending a state banquet alongside Prince William and Queen Elizabeth II on Oct. 23, Kate looked like a real-life Cinderella [3]. She opted for a blue Alexander McQueen gown [4], and her choice in jewellery suggests she favours the same regal accessories as her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
This isn't the first time Kate has made a sweet nod to Diana with this special tiara. She wore the Lover's Knot (from Queen Mary's collection) to diplomatic receptions in 2015, 2016, and 2017 [5]. The queen gave Diana this jewelled headpiece as a wedding present, and it became a favourite for the late princess, along with the complementary Collingwood pearl drop earrings. Ahead, see a photo of Diana wearing both the tiara and earrings, then keep reading for more snaps of Kate in the same accessories.
