Kensington Palace shared a video from the event, in which the British royals hosted Sultan Haitham bin Tarik of Oman for a state visit and banquet. The video revealed what the stately black-and-white portrait did not: Princess Catherine’s gown was actually canary yellow. Her additional accessories included Greville diamond chandelier earrings and the corresponding Queen Mary’s diamond choker bracelet.
The state banquet included a special tribute to the royal family’s visitors, with an inspired nod to the Omani ritual of Kahwa, a coffee typically served to guests. To incorporate a British wink, King Charles offered everyone a selection of carefully curated teas: an Iced Earl Grey & Date, an Iced Mint & Rose and a Warm Cardamom-Spiced Blend with Windsor honey. It certainly sounds like it was a special night—with the photos to prove it.
