Duchess of Edinburgh borrows Queen Camilla's jewels for glamorous State Banquet

At the State Banquet which was held later in the evening, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh looked incredible in a green gown from Suzannah London.

The £4,890 dress looked amazing on Sophie, 59, who attended the State Banquet alongside her husband, Prince Edward.

The dress's description reads: "Sensational green floor-length silk chiffon and satin gown. Structured silk-boned bodice with layers of silk chiffon over the entire gown.

"Crystalline pleat draped sleeves add a 1950s touch to this beautiful piece. Silk pleated scarf ties float free from the top back bodice and train to the hemline of the dress.

"Lined in silk satin and featuring a centre back zip for step-in ease."

The mother-of-two paired the gown with a tiara and necklace that had been lent to her by Queen Camilla.

The Lotus Flower Tiara, which was lent to Sophie by the Queen, has previously been worn by Princess Kate.

The jewel was given to the late Queen Mother as a wedding gift in 1923.

Princess Margaret regularly wore the diadem during the 1950s and 1960s.

In December 2013, the Princess of Wales surprised fans by wearing the tiara at the annual diplomatic reception.

Kate also wore it in 2015 for a State Banquet in honour of the President of China.

Prince William's wife wore the jewel again at a Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace in London on December 6, 2022.

As the diadem is part of the Royal Family's official jewellery collection, Queen Camilla has the authority to lend the tiara to royal ladies, including the Duchess of Edinburgh.

Sophie additionally wore Queen Elizabeth's pear-shaped diamond drop demi-parure necklace and earrings for Tuesday evening's State Banquet.
