Senior royals “out-glitzed” Harry and Meghan last night as they hosted a glitzy reception at Buckingham Palace.
While the Sussexes attended an awards ceremony in New York, the King, Queen, Consort and Prince and Princess of Wales dusted off their finest tiaras for the annual white tie diplomatic corps reception at Buckingham Palace.
Camilla, 75, looked stunning in an Anna Valentine dress with the Queen’s popular sapphire and diamond tiara and matching necklace.
Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales wore a red lace dress by Jenny Packham with the lotus flower tiara she has worn on many occasions.

She had her orders from the GCVO and the Royal Family pinned to her dress and wore a pair of Queen Elizabeth’s diamond earrings.
It was the first time since 2019 that the reception, for which up to 2,000 guests come to the palace, will be held because of the Covid pandemic.
At the reception, which is usually held annually, the monarch invites the diplomatic corps to an event in the state rooms of Buckingham Palace.
The reception celebrates the presence in London of one of the world’s largest diplomatic corps and sees the King and Queen joined by representatives from countries accredited to the Court of St James.
The last reception for the Diplomatic Corps was hosted by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in December 2019.
