Kate Middleton Is Glittering in Gold With Princess Diana’s Tiara at State Banquet
Prince William is taking a bow for his mom.
Nearly 35 years after Princess Diana posed in front of Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer statue, the Prince of Wales paid homage with his own photo.
On Nov. 5, William—donning a blue double-breasted blazer adorned with his Remembrance Day pin—recreated the image when he visited the nearly 100-foot statue ahead of the Royal Foundation’s Earthshot Prize Impact Assembly ceremony.
And Diana’s presence wasn’t lost on the 43-year-old—who shares kids Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with wife Kate Middleton—as he stood in the Brazilian sun amid his five-day visit to the country.
“The Prince has loved meeting so many people from across Rio over the last few days,” a Kensington Palace spokesperson told reporters by the statue, per InStyle. “He’s been incredibly struck by the number of people who fondly remember his mother’s visit to this beautiful city.”
