Her Majesty opted for her signature state banquet look, going for a white gown, white evening gloves, her Order of the Garter sash and – in an unusual choice – the Modern Sapphire Tiara with matching necklace.

The 33-year-old met the actor and martial arts expert as part of the Chinese president, Xi Jinping’s, visit to the UK.

The Lotus Flower tiara originally belonged to the Queen Mother when she was Duchess of York but the diamonds and pearls came from the jewellery box of her mother-in-law, Queen Mary.
The mother of two was accompanied by her husband William.
But President Xi’s outfit seemed a little less well-fitting, with the pants appearing a touch too long.
The magazine claimed that ever since Kim was pregnant with North West at the same time as Kate, Kim has been trying very hard to meet the royal family with the goal of becoming Kate’s best friend. We mean, could she get any more princess-like?! Prince William ensconced two places away from her.
Guests are traditionally received before the banquet by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, shaking their hands and exchanging a few words of greeting.
