Princess Kate and Queen Camilla Don Royal Tiaras at Nigerian State Dinner Princess Kate and Queen Camilla made a striking appearance at the Nigerian State dinner in the United Kingdom, both wearing tiaras for the first time this year. The event, held at Windsor Castle on March 18, marked a lavish welcome for Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife, first lady Oluremi Tinubu, during the country’s first state visit of 2026. The royal couple was joined by their husbands, Prince William and King Charles, in a display of formal elegance. Kate, 44, chose the Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara, a piece she has worn multiple times since joining the royal family in 2011. The tiara, heavily adorned with diamonds and featuring a pearl wreath above its base, was originally commissioned for Queen Mary in 1913. It passed through Queen Elizabeth’s collection before being gifted to the late Princess Diana, and later inherited by Kate. The princess first wore it in 2015 and has since relied on it for formal occasions. For the event, she paired the tiara with a forest green pleated dress, which included billowing sleeves, a high neckline, a blue sash, and a bejeweled clutch. Queen Camilla opted for the Belgian Sapphire Tiara, accompanied by matching earrings. The ornate piece features large blue gemstones set against a diamond backdrop, sourced from the late Queen Elizabeth’s collection. This marked Camilla’s first tiara appearance of the year, adding to the royal family’s opulent presentation. The state dinner coincided with ongoing scrutiny of the royal family following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, on suspicion of misconduct in public life.#princess_kate #queen_camilla #nigerian_president_bola_ahmed_tinubu #first_lady_oluremi_tinubu #prince_william
