King Charles and Queen Camilla Host Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace

Prince William joins the royal event while Princess Kate focuses on her upcoming Christmas carol concert.

Queen Camilla wore the late Queen Elizabeth II's aquamarine and diamond tiara for the first time at the reception.
The Princess of Wales, recovering from chemotherapy, was absent as she prepares for her Christmas carol concert.
The reception, attended by over 900 diplomats, is a key event in the UK's diplomatic calendar.
King Charles and Queen Camilla have both faced health challenges this year, with Camilla recovering from a chest infection.
The event was moved to November due to an upcoming state visit by the Emir of Qatar in December.
