The Jordanian princess wore an exquisite Dior gown that was custom-designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Leaving a legacy • Two years and three million trees after the first tree was planted for the Queen’s Green Canopy tree planting initiative, King Charles and Prince William have dug in the final tree of the project. Meanwhile, William and Kate’s love story features in season six of The Crown, in which Kate will be played by Meg Bellamy (below, right).
