Royals See Princess Kate, the Queen and Camilla (in Tiaras!) with Their Princes in Regal New Portrait Triple the tiaras! By Erin Hill Erin Hill Twitter Senior News Editor, PEOPLE People Editorial Guidelines Published on December 8, 2016 03:45 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Tiaras and sashes and knee-highs…times three! Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip joined Princess Kate, Prince William, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall for the annual diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace Thursday night in London. Kate chose to wear one of Princess Diana‘s favorite tiaras: the Cambridge Lover’s Knot, one of the best-known tiaras in the British royal family’s collection. The Queen and Camilla also wore tiaras, along with blue sashes, while the men wore the sashes and knee-high socks with garters. (And of course, the Queen had her purse in hand!)

It’s actually a replica of a 200-year-old Gothic Revival tiara owned by Mary’s grandmother, Princess Augusta of Hesse, the Duchess of Cambridge. (Hence the alternate name of “Cambridge Lover’s Knot.”) The original Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara was later sold at auction at Christie’s in Geneva in May 1981 for more than $747,000 in today’s dollars to an anonymous buyer and is presumed to be in an unknown private collection.
