How Princess Kate Honored the Late Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II With Her Latest Look
The silk caped gown Kate wore to the July 8 state dinner honoring Macron is the same hue as one of France's national colors. The dress was designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director at French label Givenchy, 14 years after the style visionary made Kate's 2011 wedding dress while leading British brand Alexander McQueen.
Favorite Tiara
The Queen Mary Lover's Knot tiara was also one of late mother-in-law Princess Diana's favorites. The diamond and pearl diadem, created in 1914 by jeweler Garrard for Queen Mary, has been Kate's pick for 10 of her 15 tiara moments over the past 14 years.

The late Queen Elizabeth II's Greville Diamond Chandelier Earrings framed Kate's face. She also wore the cross, star and blue sash signifying her position as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order — an honor bestowed upon her by the monarch, who died in 2022 — as well as Elizabeth's Royal Family Order on a yellow ribbon pinned to her bodice.
A Nod to Princess Diana
Diana was the original owner of the current Princess of Wales' Nigel Milne triple-strand pearl bracelet.
Honoring the King
The royal wore her Royal Family Order of King Charles III for the first time, pinning the badge — featuring a miniature portrait of her father-in-law — atop a pale blue ribbon.

Miriam Margolyes weighs in on JK Rowling: ‘I think her opinion is too harsh'
Miriam Margolyes, known for her role as Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter films, has criticised author , describing her views as 'too harsh.' Speaking on a recent episode of the A Gay Old Time podcast, the out, proud lesbian said she disagreed with Rowling and called for more gentleness on all sides of the debate. The actress told host Nigel May: 'I think her opinion is too harsh.' 'If you can make people happy, do it' – Miriam Margolyes She also expressed discomfort with the 'fury' shown by parts of the trans community towards Rowling, encouraging kindness and understanding instead. Margolyes emphasised her support for transgender people: 'I really just feel supportive about this tiny group of people who are trans, and if they want me to use pronouns, I think it's the right thing to do. If you can make people happy, do it.' Rowling has long made headlines for her views on gender, drawing criticism from public figures such as Stephen Fry and actor Pedro Pascal. Fry recently called Rowling a 'lost cause,' while Pascal said: 'Bullies make me fucking sick.' Can't say I feel very shut down, but keep at it, Pedro. God loves a trier. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 28, 2025 Other Harry Potter cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, have also publicly supported the trans community in light of Rowling's comments. The row was reignited in April when Rowling took to X (formerly Twitter) to describe the UK Supreme Court's ruling on the legal definition of 'sex' as 'TERF VE Day.' Since then, Rowling has continued to make controversial remarks, including praising BBC News presenter Martine Croxall after she swapped the phrase 'pregnant people' for 'women' during a live broadcast. The author's most recent comment on gender ideology, posted on X, reads: 'Gender identity ideology is an unfalsifiable, quasi-religious belief system.' Gender identity ideology is an unfalsifiable, quasi-religious belief system that demands absurdities of its adherents. Thus we see perfectly intelligent people pretending they're not sure which sex they are, in the belief that this makes them virtuous. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) July 16, 2025 The conversation around transgender rights is currently at the heart of political debate, most recently following this weeks update to the UK's Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) guidance. The new guidance instructs schools to treat trans identities as a topic of 'significant debate' and advises educators not to teach that all people have a gender identity.

Why Jet2's Jingle Became TikTok's Surprise Summer Travel Meme
Jet2's viral TikTok moment highlights the unpredictable power of nostalgia and remix culture, where even the most mundane creative assets can supercharge brand awareness. British travel company Jet2 is having a viral moment many marketers could only dream of. The firm, known for its family-friendly package holidays and vacation flights, has found itself at the center of a TikTok storm. A years-old advertising jingle, featuring Jess Glynne's 2015 hit 'Hold My Hand,' has been repurposed as the unofficial social media soundtrack to summer 2025. What started as a fairly standard example of British online humor has become a global megatrend. The international phenomenon is particularly curious given Jet2's route network is focused on the UK market. The company caters almost exclusively to outbound British leisure travelers, meaning most of the world has little familiarity, let alone loyalty with the brand. Why Has the Jet2 Ad Gone Viral? The simplicity of the 'Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday' messaging, combined with Glynne's catchy pop beat, has made it ripe for a Gen Z remix. Global TikTok creators are embracing travel schadenfreude, with vacation fails set to the infectiously cheery voiceo
