Kate Middleton in luxurious dress and tiara enchanted guests at state banquet in Windsor

During the solemn state banquet at Windsor Castle, organized in honor of the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, the real star of the evening was the Princess of Wales - Kate Middleton.

This is reported by The Sun.

Kate appeared at the event in an elegant dress of rich red color, decorated with a blue ribbon of the order and a sparkling tiara, which complemented her image. She was accompanied by Prince William in a classic tailcoat, and next to her were King Charles and Queen Camilla, who welcomed the guests of honor - Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron.

During the official toast, the cameras captured the moment when the French President winked at Catherine with a sly smile. This gesture did not go unnoticed in the media, as it added lightness and informality to the evening.

The banquet was attended by about 160 guests, including world-class stars: Mick Jagger with his fiancée Melanie Hamrick, Sir Elton John with his husband David Furnish, as well as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his wife. Guests were treated to a meal in the historic St. George's Hall.

As a reminder, in March 2024, Kate Middleton confirmed that she had cancer. However, Buckingham Palace later announced that she had beaten the disease and returned to her royal duties in 2025.
