Royal News Roundup: Kate Middleton’s White Gown, Elton John’s Surprise Gift & More

• This week, Prince William and Kate Middleton joined a ceremonial procession in honor of President Cyril Ramaphosa, who was visiting from South Africa. During the outing, Princess Catherine wore a stunning magenta outfit that seemingly paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth (who often wore monochrome ensembles).
• That night, the couple attended a fancy state dinner at Buckingham Palace. The Princess of Wales stole the show in a gorgeous white gown by Jenny Packham featuring cape-like sleeves and bejeweled shoulders. She accessorized with Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot tiara, which was one of Princess Diana’s favorite accessories.
• Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles also wore a sweet tribute to the late monarch: the Belgian Sapphire Tiara, which previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth.

• Elton John revealed that he received a surprise gift from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple filmed a special video to honor the musical legend’s final tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road.
• According to People magazine, Prince Harry and Markle’s docuseries will premiere on Netflix in December. (That’s three months before the duke’s memoir, Spare, hits bookshelves.)
