Kate Middleton has an excellent taste in tiaras.

The 36 year old Duchess of Cambridge attended Tuesday evening a state banquet at the Buckingham Palace, wearing a blue Alexander McQueen dress, accessorized with a very special helmet: the diadem of the knot lover.

And it seems that the Duchess loves this precious piece as much as Diana: it is the fourth time that the royal mother of three children comes out of the tiara of the knot of love.

The piece, which features teardrop-shaped beads, was a favorite of Princess Diana, and the late King borrowed it from Queen Elizabeth II on several special occasions. Prince William's last mother donned the tiara in 1991, but was not worn until Middleton picked her for the diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace in 2015.

Middleton paired the glittering accessory with Princess Diana's beloved Collingwood beaded earrings, which Prince Charles gave her as a wedding gift, and finished the sentimental look with a diamond necklace. and pearls belonging to Queen Alexandra.

At the same time, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, attended her first state dinner in Fiji, dressed the same way in blue. But while the occasion marked the first time that the Duchess of Sussex was empowered to wear a tiara (a right reserved for married royals attending a state banquet), she chose to skip the crown.
