Sound the trumpets! The Queen was joined by Duchess Kate, Prince William and Duchess Camilla at the Diplomatic Corps reception at Buckingham Palace on Dec. 11. The annual event is held each December at the Palace, and is very exclusive, with only about 1,000 guests getting an invite. There was an incredible amount of glamour and diamonds on display at the event!

As for Kate, she looked stunning! She chose the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara for the fifth consecutive year at the reception! It was loved by Princess Diana and it has also become the Duchess of Cambridge's favourite crown. She wore it earlier this year to the state dinner reception for US President Donald Trump and US First Lady Melania Trump at the Palace.

Kate also wore a beautiful navy blue velvet gown by Alexander McQueen, one of her go-to designers. She paired it with silver drop earrings and one of the Queen's silver necklaces.
