Last night’s royal banquet at Buckingham Palace turned into Catherine’s night as the Princess of Wales dazzled the world in a breathtaking floral gown that instantly became the centerpiece of the evening. But what truly left the audience gasping was the necklace resting around her neck — a priceless jewel once belonging to Princess Diana.

As Catherine stepped onto the grand staircase beside Prince William, cameras flashed wildly. The intricate flower-patterned gown, embroidered with shimmering silver threads, flowed gracefully as she descended, yet all eyes were locked on the necklace glittering under the chandeliers. “It was as if Diana herself was walking into the room again,” whispered one guest in awe.

The necklace, originally gifted to Diana in the 1980s, has not been seen in public for decades. Its sudden reappearance on Catherine is being called a symbolic blessing — the late Princess’s spirit shining through her daughter-in-law. William was visibly moved as he glanced at Catherine during the speeches. Insiders say he whispered: “You wear it exactly as she would have… with love and grace.” Social media erupted within minutes.

Fashion critics praised Catherine’s look as “flawless, timeless, and historic,” while Diana’s admirers described the moment as “the most emotional royal tribute in years.” For many, Catherine didn’t just wear a gown — she wore history, memory, and legacy all at once.

In that shimmering moment, she was not only the future Queen… but Diana’s living tribute.
