The Queen's Pre-Christmas Luncheon at Buckingham Palace..

Today saw another event where we only get arrival photos through car windows, apart from on rare occasions where other events with photos take place on the same day, however we look forward to it almost as much as the Diplomatic Reception.

We didn't get a very clear picture of Kate's outfit as she was sat in the back with Prince George, however it appears she is wearing a purple dress/coat and a black scarf.

Head's Together Christmas Party..

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry attended a Christmas party in support of their Heads Together campaign.

It was an appropriate engagement to end 2016 on - a year in which they have focussed on mental health charities and their campaign to de-stigmatise mental health.

They met with the youth support service, The Mix, and had the opportunity to celebrate those who support people with mental health issues.

Annual Diplomatic Reception...

Tonight was the much anticipated White-Tie Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace. Although we only get arrival shots in cars we still love this event as it means a tiara appearance will be taking place! Tonight did not disappoint..
photo via The Daily Mail

Tonight is the third time the Duke and Duchess have attended. In 2013 Kate wore a bespoke Alexander McQueen gown and the Queen Mother's Papyrus Tiara. In 2015 Kate wore the same bespoke Alexander McQueen gown but chose the Cambridge Lovers Knot Tiara.

Although we have never seen the Alexander McQueen gown in full, during The Queen at 90 documentary last year we were offered a glimpse in a never before seen video taken at the 2015 Diplomatic Reception.

The Duke and Duchess arrived in a chaffer-driven car at Buckingham Palace.

Tonight the Duchess wore the bespoke Jenny Packham red gown.

We first saw this dress at last year's Chinese State Banquet at Buckingham Palace which we can see below.

The Duchess chose the Cambridge Lovers Knot Tiara again tonight. The tiara is known for being a particular favourite of Princess Diana's. It was a wedding present from The Queen to Diana.

The Duchess wore The Queen's Diamond Pendant Earrings. She also wore a bracelet loaned from The Queen - it was a wedding present from Prince Phillip to The Queen.
