The reception, hosted byQueen Elizabeth II, was for the world leaders who have gathered in Cornwall, England, for the G7 summit. The outdoor event was held at the Eden Project, an “eco-visitor attraction”, and in her ivory outfit Duchess Kate virtually dazzled amid the lush green foliage as she appeared alongside Prince William, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla. Accessorizing the dress was a three-strand pearl bracelet that once belonged to Princess Diana, while a splash of delicate color came from the duchess’s beaded clutch in Point de Beauvais embroidery. Kate finished the look with her $7000 diamond-encrusted white gold hoop earrings by Robinson Pelham, which the royal has had for a few years but wears rarely. Meanwhile, the monarch wore a thematically floral dress for the event, which saw her cutting a cake with a giant ceremonial sword at one point. We suppose that after 69 years as monarch, one would hope to have attained a degree of skill at cutting cakes with giant ceremonial swords. At the very least. Next up, when royalty met the FLOTUS: Duchess Kate and First Lady Jill Biden join forces in Cornwall!
