Part 3/8:
For the banquet held later that evening, Kate dazzled in a striking red gown complemented by the historic Queen Mary Lovers Not Tiara. The tiara, an iconic piece linked to Princess Diana, added a regal touch, highlighting Kate's appreciation of royal heritage and tradition. Her gown choice was equally noteworthy—a Givenchy creation that sparked some controversy due to its association with Meghan Markle's wedding dress. However, the designer, Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen fame, is a favorite of Kate's, which underlines her loyalty to trusted collaborators and her role as a fashion icon visibly blending tradition with personal preference.
