00:00 Kate Middleton is channeling her late mother-in-law.

00:03 The Princess of Wales took an item out of Princess Diana's

00:06 collection on December 5th for a reception honoring diplomats

00:10 alongside her husband, Prince William, his father, King

00:13 Charles, and his wife, Queen Camilla.

00:15 Kate wore the Lover's Knot tiara,

00:17 which is impressively adorned with 38 teardrop-shaped pearls

00:21 suspended underneath diamond-studded arches.

00:24 The 41-year-old royal paired the stunning headpiece

00:27 with an equally sparkly pink Jenny Packham gown

00:30 and completed her shining look with Cartier earrings that

00:33 were the late Queen Elizabeth's.

00:35 Kate loves rocking unique tiaras.

00:37 In November, the Princess of Wales

00:39 wore the Strathmore Rose tiara for the first time, a piece not

00:43 worn by many others either.

00:45 The royal is only the second person

00:46 to wear the precious headpiece in public,

00:48 as it was part of Queen Elizabeth's mother's

00:50 collection.

00:51 The name came from the Queen Mother's father,

00:54 who was the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn.

00:56 The accessory was a wedding present

00:57 when she married Prince Albert, according to the court jeweler.

01:01 Kate and William posed for a lovely photo

01:03 with King Charles and Queen Camilla at the reception

01:05 as they welcomed the diplomats.

01:07 The royal couple have played a key role in welcoming guests

01:10 since Queen Elizabeth's death in September 2022.

01:13 One day after her passing, King Charles

01:16 made William and Kate the Prince and Princess of Wales,

01:18 which recognized them as senior members of the royal family.

01:21 Access Hollywood previously spoke

01:23 with DailyMail.com's Charlie Langston,

01:25 who talked about how the duo are getting

01:27 ready to lead the monarchy.

01:29 William and Kate are already not acting as though they are

01:34 already the leaders of the monarchy,

01:36 but they are taking on a huge amount of responsibility,

01:40 not just in terms of public engagements,

01:43 but also in terms of the way in which the monarchy is run.

01:46 They're making small but very important changes,

01:50 opening up the monarchy to a more modern point of view,

01:54 not perhaps in a way that is noticeable every single day,

01:59 but bit by bit, they have kind of helped the monarchy

02:01 to evolve, to kind of embrace new traditions,

02:05 and to kind of maintain the important heritage of the past

02:10 while also kind of saying, okay,

02:12 a few of the things that we used to do

02:14 are seen as being very stuffy.

02:16 They are very stuffy.

02:17 Here are ways where we can kind of maintain

02:19 the tradition behind these things

02:21 without making it appear as though

02:23 we are completely ignorant to what the rest of the world

02:25 is doing and how they're living.
