Prince William, Kate Middleton Attend Queen’s Diplomatic Reception; Harry, Meghan Markle Missing

Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended different events amid royal feud.

On Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in full royal mode when they attended the Queen's Diplomatic Corps Reception at Buckingham Palace. Middleton arrived at the formal gathering in a silver-blue gown designed by Jenny Packham, Harper’s Bazaar reported.

The dress featured a draped neckline with sheer cap sleeves. It has clusters of beads of sequins at the torso and at the top of the skirt for a sparkling effect.

The royal mom of three matched her glittering outfit with Lover’s Knot tiara that showcased precious diamonds and pearls. It’s Middleton and Princess Diana’s favorite headpiece. She also wore pear-shaped pearl earrings and a diamond bracelet while carrying a jeweled box clutch. On the other hand, Prince William looked dashing in his black suit.

Prior to the event, Middleton was last seen wearing a tiara during a state banquet at Buckingham Palace in October where she also showcased Princess Diana’s Cambridge tiara. She was expected to wear a tiara at the annual Diplomatic Corps reception and Middleton did not disappoint.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were noticeably missing at the event. Prince Harry and Markle were not expected to attend the reception.

Last year, the Duke of Sussex, who is further down the line, also skipped it. The senior royals who have been attending the annual celebration include Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Prince William and Middleton. However, the Duke of Edinburgh was absent last year because he had officially retired.

On the same evening, Prince Harry and Markle attended a carol service in support of Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund, which supports children’s education in Uganda. The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex are both supporters of the said charity.

“Great to see the Duchess of Sussex support the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund charity with a reading at this evening’s carol service. Meghan & Harry attended together, William & Harry are joint patrons of the amazing charity which supports children’s education in Uganda,” one user wrote on Twitter.

“The Duke of Cambridge paid tribute to the charity’s work with a written message hailing the charity’s achievements,” another post read.
