Kate, Princess of Wales, dazzled in a sequinned red full-length gown and the Lotus Flower Tiara as the royal family welcomed diplomats to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla and the Prince of Wales also attended the first Diplomatic Corps reception in three years, greeting hundreds of guests at the glittering affair in London.

The Buckingham Palace event was the first Diplomatic Corps reception of the king’s reign, and the monarch, the queen consort and the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed foreign ambassadors to the grand occasion in the royal residence’s state rooms.

The Princess of Wales, with her hair worn down and straightened without her trademark waves, was dressed in a floor-length scarlet Jenny Packham dress decorated in sequinned flower motifs, as well as a blue Royal Victorian Order sash and the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Family Order, which sits on a yellow ribbon.

Her drop diamond earrings belonged to the queen.

The princess has worn the Lotus Flower Tiara — also known as the Queen Mother’s Papyrus Tiara — previously.

Made of diamonds in fanned motifs and crowned by floating diamond arches, it belonged to Princess Margaret.

It is usually held every December, but there were no receptions in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic.

The reception traditionally includes a buffet supper and dancing.
