The tiara Bow of Queen Mary's lover, whom Kate has worn many times before, is a copy of the tiara of Cambridge lover. given to Kate. For the Tuesday event, Kate also wore an ornate necklace, identified as a wedding parure of Queen Alexandra (purchased by Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, in 1863 for their wedding).
Coincidentally, the event occurs one night after Meghan Markle attended his very first state dinner, in Fiji, where he was thought she would make a diadem for the first time since her wedding – but she did not do it.
Kate and Meghan both chose blue dresses for their state dinners, the Duchess of Sussex wearing a Safiyaa cape dress in Fiji and Kate wearing an Alexander McQueen designer dress in London. We want to believe – now that Meghan is fine on the circuitso to speak, that the two men wrote with enthusiasm in advance of these events.
Meghan: "Will you do the tiara ???"
Kate: "I … suppose that!?!?!? IDK. It's always such a thing.
Meghan: "Hahah, yeah."
Kate: "Yes, of course, why not, is not it ??"
Meghan: "Sorry, I have to take care of this pumpkin and spice cake that I prepare for our engagement tomorrow."
Kate: "LOL O.K., Meg."
