The Princess of Wales shone in a glittering gown and tiara as the royal family laid on a lavish state banquet for the German president.
Kate wore a blue sequinned Jenny Packham dress with the Oriental Circlet Tiara, designed for Queen Victoria by her husband Prince Albert in 1853, as she attended the Windsor Castle event alongside Prince William, the King and Queen.
The tiara, last seen worn by Queen Elizabeth in 2006, is set with rubies alongside 2,600 diamonds.
