Kate Middleton, who is concentrating on staying cancer-free after completing chemotherapy treatment, will not attend a key royal event this week.
The Princess of Wales, who is gradually returning to work, will not be wearing a dazzling tiara since she will be missing the Tuesday evening celebrations with other royals at State Banquet.
Kensington Palace has previously revealed Kate's preparations for her Christmas carol service on December 6.
Buckingham Palace has also announced that the Qatari royals, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, will be entertained to a spectacular State Banquet by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
State banquets are one of the rare white-tie occasions that the royals attend, therefore the Princess is unlikely to wear a tiara until next year.
Princess Catherine's choice has disappointed royal admirers, who were looking forward to seeing their favourite royal donning a dazzling tiara.
It is worth noting that this will be the last state supper given at Buckingham Palace in three years owing to substantial repair work on the royal residence. Windsor Castle will host future state visits until the £369 million restoration is completed.
However, William and Kate will accompany the Emir in a carriage parade to Horse Guards Parade, where he will be greeted ceremonially before meeting the King and Queen.
