The event, held at the magnificent Houghton Hall near their Sandringham estate home, was to raise funds for a cause close to her heart. Known for her elegant style, Catherine looked stunning in a floor-length pearlescent satin gown embellished with Swarovski crystals. As she entered the venue, guests were captivated by her radiant look. The soft blush shade complimented her beauty, and the sequins sparkled beautifully under the lights, making her look even more glamorous.

She carried an old favourite, a Prada clutch from the 2011 dinner, and wore ALK B AATA heels from the same year. Adding to the royal elegance were a pair of diamond chandelier earrings lent to her by the Queen. The evening was filled with glamour and heartfelt moments, focusing on the important mission of supporting children’s care homes. Prince William added humour to the event with a five-course meal prepared by Michelin-starred chefs.

He joked about his usual meals at home, while Catherine humbly acknowledged her cooking skills, or lack thereof, and commented that William was looking forward to a break from her culinary creations. Their light-hearted banter charmed the audience, highlighting their easy rapport and shared sense of humour. Their affection for each other shone through, bringing warmth to the otherwise formal atmosphere.

Houghton Hall, just a few miles from Anmer Hall, provided the perfect backdrop for the glamorous evening. Despite the lavish setting and fine dining, it was the couple’s commitment to charity and their genuine interactions with guests that made the night stand out. Catherine, a patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices since 2012, spoke passionately about the charity's work for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

Her commitment to the cause was clear and her presence helped raise awareness and funds. As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that the evening had been a huge success in both raising funds and fostering community spirit. For Catherine, it was not just a fashion triumph but also an opportunity to support a worthy cause, with Prince William's charm adding to the evening's memorable quality that guests will cherish for years to come.
