The next most senior royal lady on the guest list was the Duchess of Edinburgh, who wore the insignia of the Royal Victorian Order with a green evening gown from a favorite brand, Suzannah.
Sophie was also dazzling in diamonds for the banquet, all pieces on loan from the royal vaults. She wore the Lotus Flower Tiara with the late Queen’s Pear-Shaped Diamond Drop Demi-Parure for the banquet. Significantly, the palace briefed that the jewels were loaned to Sophie “by Queen Camilla,” suggesting that the new Queen (like many consorts before her) is now in charge of the jewelry collection herself.
The Lotus Flower Tiara was made in 1923 for Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. She had the tiara made by repurposing a meander and festoon necklace given to her as a wedding present by her husband, King George VI, just a few months earlier. She wears the tiara in an early portrait above.
Later, the tiara was worn often by Elizabeth’s younger daughter, Princess Margaret. It was also worn as a bridal tiara by Margaret’s daughter-in-law, Serena Stanhope, at the start of her marriage to the then-Viscount Linley.

We’ve seen the tiara most recently on the Princess of Wales, who has worn the jewel on a handful of occasions since her royal marriage in 2011. Above, Kate wears the tiara for the Diplomatic Reception in December 2022.
*******************************
Earlier this week, Emperor Naruhito has praised the British royals for treating him 'like family' when he spent time with the late Queen Elizabeth in the 1980s.
During his two years studying at Oxford University, the royal, was invited to stay at Balmoral for a couple of days.
Emperor Naruhito smiled as he recalled sweet memories of the late Queen, Prince Philip and King Charles.
According to the Japan Times, he said: 'I have very fond memories of the Queen driving a car, inviting me to a barbecue and Prince Philip showing me around by driving a carriage himself.'
The father-of-one said King Charles, who was then the Prince of Wales, taught him how to fly fish, but admitted that 'neither of us had success.'
'I was welcomed with warmth as if I were their family member,' Emperor Naruhito added.
He also attended the late Queen's funeral in September 2022, marking his first overseas trip after The Emperor's enthronement.
The royal said he was 'very grateful' that King Charles is set welcome him and his wife, despite his cancer diagnosis.
The Princess of Wales, 42, also announced that she had cancer at the end of March and has been going through preventative chemotherapy.
She attended Trooping the Colour last weekend, where she rode in a carriage alongside her children Prince Louis, six, Prince George, 10 and nine-year-old Princess Charlotte.
Speaking of Charles and Kate, Naruhito said: 'I hope their treatment goes smoothly and they can make a speedy recovery.'
The Emperor is planning to fly over to the UK with his wife, Empress Masako, on Saturday and stay for eight days, with events for their official visit commencing on Tuesdau.

『公務初日 - 25日の流れ』
Prince William will greet the Emperor and Empress of Japan at their hotel on Tuesday morning and travel with them to Horse Guards Parade where they will receive a ceremonial welcome from the King and Queen.
Their Majesties arrived on schedule just before noon and were greeted by Sir Kenneth Olisa, His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London.
Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako had then been scheduled to arrive at 12.10pm.
But guards, who chatted anxiously at the sidelines, were informed at 12.14pm that the Emperor and Empress were one minute away, but they did not appear until 12.18pm.
Palace aides confirmed the unexpected delay was due to traffic.
Presentations will be made including the playing of the Japanese national anthem.
The Emperor will then inspect the Guard of Honour, formed of the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards with the Band of the Welsh Guards, accompanied by the King.
Afterwards, the Emperor and Empress will join The King and Queen, and The Prince of Wales, in a carriage procession along The Mall to Buckingham Palace.
The King and Queen arrived at the Grand Entrance of Buckingham Palace with Emperor Naruhito and his wife Empress Masako to the sound of the Japanese and British national anthems.
The Empress was wearing a face mask for her carriage ride in the open top landau due to her chronic allergy to horse hair.
The royal carriage procession arrived at the palace at 12.38pm - eight minutes behind schedule.
The King and the Emperor could be seen deep in conversation as their carriage made its way around the quadrangle. The Emperor stepped from the 1902 State Landau first, and turned to wait for the King.
In the second carriage - a Semi-State Landau - Camilla accompanied the Empress, whose white face mask matched her dress.
In the palace quadrangle was a Guard of Honour from the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards in their scarlet tunics and bearskin hats, lined up in formation amid the 27C summer heat.
Following a lunch hosted by the King, the Emperor and Empress will view a special exhibition in the Picture Gallery of items from the Royal Collection relating to Japan.

Later in the afternoon, the Emperor and Empress will visit Westminster Abbey, where the Emperor will lay a wreath at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
The Emperor and Empress will then return to Buckingham Palace for a state banquet.

The Imperial Chrysanthemum Tiara (菊のティアラ)
The Imperial Chrysanthemum Tiara is, in my opinion, the most spectacular of the tiaras.
Set solely with diamonds and designed around the Imperial Seal of Japan, it is only worn by the Empress.
The tiara was made for Empress Teimei in 1917 by jewellers Mikimoto, the firm famous for creating cultured pearls.
It is set with thousands of diamonds and incorporates several chrysanthemum brooches between sprays of diamond leaves.
Former Empress Michiko - who since 2019 has been the Dowager Empress of Japan - often wore this tiara, particularly on state visits at home and abroad.
