Kate Middleton sparkled in green as she joined Prince William and the Queen at a Diamond Jubilee party

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on dazzling form last night, as they attended a reception at Buckingham Palace to mark the start of the Queen’s diamond jubilee celebrations.

DUCHESS KATE’S ROYAL STYLE TRANSFORMATION

The smiling pair – who had recently reunited after Prince William was called away on a dramatic rescue mission in Anglesey – were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, and the Queen herself at the event.

Working the room to meet many of the 350 attendees, the royals chatted to a host of photographers and journalists – including Fearne Cotton, Chris Evans and Marie Claire’s very own Editor-In-Chief Trish Halpin - ahead of the Queen’s diamond jubilee celebrations next year.

Proving her fashion credentials once again, Kate Middleton stole the style spotlight in a £1,400 emerald green Mulberry shirtdress.

With a chic Peter Pan collar, pleats and a super-luxe Peace & Love Jaquard pattern, the dazzling dress is still available to buy on the designer’s website today.

But we guarantee it won’t be around for long…
