Kate Middleton seemed to subtly communicate with Meghan Markle during her appearance at the UK-France State Banquet on Tuesday. Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, have been in a long-standing dispute with the Royal Family, having stepped back from their royal duties five years ago.
Accompanied by Prince William, Kate attended the State Banquet on the first night of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte’s three-day visit to the UK. The royal couple were also the first to welcome the Macrons upon their arrival in Britain.
To the delight of royal enthusiasts, Kate donned a luxurious dark red silk creponne evening gown by Sarah Burton for Givenchy, which ave been sending a message to her sister-in-law, as Meghan chose Givenchy for her wedding dress design in 2018, reports Daily Express UK.
Kate’s choice to wear the French luxury brand marks a significant fashion moment, as she typically opts for British designers for major Royal events like State Banquets.
The future Queen paired the elegant gown with the Lover’s Knot Tiara, marking her first tiara appearance since November 2023.
Before their appearance on Tuesday evening, Kensington Palace unveiled a fresh snapshot of William and Kate as they readied themselves for the French State Banquet at Windsor Castle.
