How Princess Kate Honored the Late Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II With Her Latest Look
The silk caped gown Kate wore to the July 8 state dinner honoring Macron is the same hue as one of France's national colors. The dress was designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director at French label Givenchy, 14 years after the style visionary made Kate's 2011 wedding dress while leading British brand Alexander McQueen.
Favorite Tiara
The Queen Mary Lover's Knot tiara was also one of late mother-in-law Princess Diana's favorites. The diamond and pearl diadem, created in 1914 by jeweler Garrard for Queen Mary, has been Kate's pick for 10 of her 15 tiara moments over the past 14 years.
Tributes to Queen Elizabeth II
The late Queen Elizabeth II's Greville Diamond Chandelier Earrings framed Kate's face. She also wore the cross, star and blue sash signifying her position as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order — an honor bestowed upon her by the monarch, who died in 2022 — as well as Elizabeth's Royal Family Order on a yellow ribbon pinned to her bodice.
A Nod to Princess Diana
Diana was the original owner of the current Princess of Wales' Nigel Milne triple-strand pearl bracelet.
Honoring the King
The royal wore her Royal Family Order of King Charles III for the first time, pinning the badge — featuring a miniature portrait of her father-in-law — atop a pale blue ribbon.

Johnny Depp self-portrait to go on sale
A self-portrait by Johnny Depp is among artwork by the actor that is to go on sale. The collection, named Let the Light In, also features a painting of a rose for his daughter, the actress Lily-Rose Depp. Pirates of the Caribbean star Depp created the original works in the early 2000s, during the early years of his relationship with the French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis. The couple lived with their children, Jack and Lily-Rose, at their estate Le Hameau, in the south of France, where he painted the works. The pair announced their split in 2012. Depp said: 'I've been lucky enough to understand through various artists – listening, learning things – the only thing you can really do is add the light to what's there.' Asked about his self-portrait, which is painted in watercolours, Depp said: 'It represents exactly what I was experiencing at the time – very present, just there.' The companion piece is a single rose, entitled A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose. Depp added: 'When Lily-Rose was a little kiddie, I'd paint her a rose every Valentine's Day. 'On Mother's Day, I'd paint Vanessa some roses. You don't really know where it's going to go, it's all up to chance.' The works, available in a limited edition of 195, are all hand-signed by Depp and can be bought individually or as a set. The paintings follow previous art he has created and sold in recent years. They will go on sale from 8am on July 18, exclusively at and in their 38 nationwide UK galleries.

First Royal Mint coin to celebrate Anne goes on sale for her 75th birthday
The first ever official UK coin to honour the Princess Royal has been unveiled in celebration of Anne's 75th birthday and her 'remarkable lifetime of service'. The Royal Mint's commemorative £5 piece, dubbed its 'Anne-iversary coin', was personally approved by the princess. It features a portrait of the King's sister wearing the Aquamarine Pineflower Tiara with her hair swept up in her signature bouffant style. The design is framed with the inscription 'The Princess Royal – Celebrating 75 Years – Duty and Devotion' in tribute to Anne's steadfast royal duty over the decades. Anne, often viewed as the hardest working member of the royal family, turns 75 on August 15, but so far has insisted her milestone should only be publicly marked by a charities forum she hosted at Buckingham Palace in June. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: 'For the first time in British numismatic history, we are honoured to celebrate the Princess Royal on an official UK coin. 'Her Royal Highness's unwavering commitment to public service, charitable work, and support of His Majesty's armed forces over seven and a half decades makes her truly deserving of this tribute.' To the right of the princess's portrait is a depiction of her official coat of arms, and on the obverse is the King, who gave the creation its final sign-off in honour of his sister. Thomas T Docherty, who designed the coin, said it reflected the princess's 'strength of character' and 'understated elegance'. The portrait of Anne's head is based on a photograph of the princess taken by John Swannell, a Royal Photographic Society fellow, and shows her staring directly at the camera. Mr Docherty said: 'I wanted to capture Her Royal Highness's remarkable legacy and dedication to public service. 'The portrait reflects her strength of character and unwavering commitment to duty.' He added: 'It was really by observing Princess Anne and looking at the role she plays within not only her family but the nation and the Commonwealth that formed inspiration for the design of the coin. 'She has, I would say, a kind of understated elegance and strength.' Mr Docherty continued: 'Being Scottish, I admire the Princess Royal's dedication to Scottish organisations and communities, and I hope this coin serves as a fitting tribute.' The art deco-style diamond and aquamarine Cartier tiara Anne is wearing was a wedding anniversary present from King George VI to his wife Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother, who went on to give it as a wedding gift to her granddaughter Anne in 1973. The princess is also wearing an aquamarine pendant and matching earrings, both believed to have been made using stones from the tiara when Anne had it remodelled in the 1990s. Anne, the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is known for her no fuss approach. She has survived a kidnapping attempt, competed in the Olympics and spent decades supporting her mother before becoming a vital part of the King's slimmed-down working monarchy. The princess carried out nearly 400 official engagements in 2024 – the most of any member of the royal family – despite it being the year she was rushed to intensive care, spending five nights in hospital after she was believed to have been struck by a horse. The commemorative coin is available to purchase from the Royal Mint's website on July 18, costing £17.50 for the brilliant uncirculated edition. Other versions of the £5 coin are also available, with a silver proof priced at £110, a silver proof piedfort costing £208, and gold proof for £4,110. The coin is also being sold as part of three sets which also feature either a single George VI threepence or florin or multiple George VI coins from 1950, the year the princess was born, with the prices ranging from £25 to £4,500.
