For the first time since her wedding, the Duchess of Cambridge donned a tiara at tonight’s Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace. Senior royals including the Queen and Prince Charles were on hand along with the Cambridges to greet representatives from 172 foreign missions currently accredited to the Court of St. James’s in London.
The Queen loaned the tiara to the Duchess for the state occasion; the Papyrus Tiara was once owned by the Queen Mother and most recently by the Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret.
Too bad no official photos were released from the event but rumors are that the Duchess is wearing one of her favorite brands, Alexander McQueen.
On Thursday, the Duchess of Cambridge was the guest of honor at the annual gala hosted by SportsAid. The Duchess looked fantastic in her Temperley dress and showcasing darker locks.

The former frontman for the Smiths, Morrissey, has yet again slammed the Royal family and also took a shot at Pippa Middleton in his blog over the weekend. As reported by E! News, he wrote:
“Similarly, on October 5, the Daily Mail newspaper gave us all an ‘amusing’ report of thickwit Pippa Middleton laughing as she stood over 50 birds shot dead by her friends and herself after a ‘busy day’s shooting…
“We are reminded by the Daily Mail that Middleton is a ‘socialite’, which tells us that she is privileged and can more-or-less kill whatever she likes—and, therefore she does. The sick face of modern Britain, Pippa Middleton will kill deer, boar, birds—any animal struggling to live, or that gets in her socialite way.
“This is because her sister is, of course, Kate, who herself became ‘royal’ simply by answering the telephone at the right time, and this association allows Pippa’s kill, kill, kill mentality to be smilingly endorsed by the British print media, to which only the mentally deficient could join in with the laughter.”
And he went on to say:
“Speech is a question of rhythm, and even this the Queen has failed to master in her very lengthy lifetime of being unable to address a nation without auto-cue. Is she incapable of speaking directly from the heart? That the future of the monarchy rests on the natural idiocy of Harry, zombified William and airhead Kate, is quite frightening. We, the British public, are trapped.”
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge visited the central office of Only Connect today, a London-based crime prevention charity. Dressed for fall, the Duchess wore her Orla Kiely Dove-printed coat dress and suede Aquatalia boots. The Orla Kiely piece is a repeat from her visit to the Rose Hill Primary School in Oxford back in 2012.

Back in 2012….
According to E! News, a slice of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding cake was auctioned off by Julien’s Auctions for a whopping $4,160! The eight-tier traditional spiced fruit cake was created by pastry chef Fiona Cairns and included raisins, walnuts, cherries, lemon, cherries, grated orange, and French Brandy. As is customary, the Cambridges served the top tier following Prince George’s christening. As Cairns told Hello!, “We were always told that the cake would be saved for the future so we did assume [it would be served for their firstborn child’s christening]…It’s always been a tradition and that’s why the cake was fruitcake, because after 30 months, it’s even more delicious.”
