Following the intimate wedding ceremony for Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Princess Rajwa at Zahran Palace this afternoon, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the white-tie banquet at Al Husseiniya Palace with the Jordanian royal family, and other foreign royals and dignitaries.
Below is a video of the royal arrivals at the reception, with the Prince and Princess of Wales entering at the 7:22 mark.
Kate stuck with pink for the wedding celebrations, wearing a new Jenny Packham dress in the 'Georgia' style. This sequin-covered gown features crystal embellishments at the waist and neckline and was part of Packham's A/W 2019 runway collection.
Kate also owns a green version of this silhouette, which she first wore at a reception during the 2019 Pakistan tour and repeated at the 2021 Royal Variety Performance.
The Princess carried her Prada 'Raso' Minaudiere Clutch in Pink Satin.
On her feet were the Gianvito Rossi 'Rania' 105 Pumps in Silver — perhaps, a coincidental nod to Queen Rania of Jordan.
We saw the return of the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, a diadem Kate has donned on nine previous occasions of state since 2015.
This evening, the Princess debuted the Greville Diamond Chandelier Earrings from the Royal Collection.
The Greville Diamond Chandelier Earrings are from the Royal Collection. The earrings were bequeathed to Queen Elizabeth by her friend Dame Margaret Greville in 1942. Crafted by Cartier between 1918 and 1929, these chandelier earrings boast an exquisite Art Deco design, fashioned with modern cut diamonds and set in platinum. They were then gifted to Princess Elizabeth as a wedding present in November 1947. Queen Elizabeth II wore them on many noteworthy occasions, such as the State Opening of Parliament and the Royal Variety Performance.
Kate also wore the Royal Victorian Order sash and badge, along with the Maltese Cross for the stately wedding banquet. She pinned her Bentley & Skinner Art Deco Diamond Set Brooch to the sash, while the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II graced the left side of her dress.

Today, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the wedding of Prince Al Hussein of Jordan and Rajwa Al Saif at Zahran Palace in Amman.
The British prince and princess joined other royals and dignitaries from around the world to attend the wedding in a lavish yet intimate ceremony officiated by the Grand Mufti of Jordan.
Below is a video showing William and Kate arriving at the Palace, and being greeted by the groom's parents, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan.
For the ceremony, Kate wore a dusty pink gown by Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab. The floor-length dress is embroidered with floral motifs, has pleated detailing, sheer swiss-dot panels, a high neckline, and billowed sleeves.
The design was part of the FW 2017/2018 RTW collection and was seen on the runway during the 2017 Paris Fashion Week. Kate had modesty panels added to cover the sheer sections.
The Princess carried her Wilbur & Gussie 'Charlie' Clutch in Gold Glitter, and on her feet were the Prada Scalloped Sandals in Beige Suede.
Kate complemented her exquisite look with a pair of morganite and diamond statement earrings. They were first spotted in 2011 at the 100 Women in Hedge Funds gala, and we have seen them on a couple of occasions since then, such as the 2017 BAFTAs (shown below). Their provenance remains unknown.
Later this evening, the Prince and Princes of Wales will attend the white-tie royal wedding banquet where we expect to see Kate don a tiara!
Congratulation to Crown Prince Al Hussein and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein!
For those interested, Princess Rajwa wore a white bridal gown by Elie Saab. The fitted dress featured long-sleeves with a delicately draped bodice, asymmetrical neckline, and a long, embellished train.
