Arguably Kate's most famous headband has to be the fancy number she wore to her third child Prince Louis' christening back in 2018. Her bespoke creation by Jane Taylor. known as the 'Cassandra' featured a thick platform and had striking appliqué flowers stitched on the top – giving her the perfect crowning glory. It went perfectly with her Alexander McQueen V-neckline white gown with exaggerated puff sleeves.
