The Princess of Wales has worn some gorgeous red carpet outfits over the years but an unearthed photo from 2011 revealed a particular look inspired her very best.
Kate, now 42, accompanied Prince William to a dinner reception in aid of the National Memorial Arboretum Appeal at St James’ Palace where she looked beautiful in a silver satin Jenny Packham gown.
