Buckingham Palace recently announced that King Charles and Queen Camilla will be extending a warm welcome to South Korean President Yunsuk Yild to the UK for a state visit in November. Such visits typically involve grand ceremonies, carriage processions, and a formal state banquet at Buckingham Palace.
Insiders suggest that Kate Middleton may opt to wear the iconic Great Britain Tiara for this prestigious event, further enriching her collection of royal jewels. This development has reportedly irked Meghan Markle, who has shown a keen interest in royal crowns, as it seems she won't have the opportunity to adorn herself with such treasures.
During state banquets, female members of the royal family typically wear tiaras, and Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla were seen wearing them during the state banquet for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's visit in November 2022. Kate wore the Lotus Flower Tiara, while Camilla wore the Belgian Sapphire Tiara, previously owned by Queen Elizabeth.
While it's unlikely that President Yild will perform a musical number, as he did in the US, the state dinner promises to be a grand event, possibly featuring a string orchestra for entertainment. This state visit holds significance as King Charles himself visited South Korea in 1992, and in 2004, he was a key guest at a state banquet hosted for the South Korean leader.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton has adopted a strategic approach to dealing with the ongoing drama surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. According to royal experts, Kate and Prince William have chosen not to publicly address their feud with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, opting for a different approach. Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe revealed that Kate believes in the adage "slow and steady wins the race." Instead of engaging in public controversy, she chooses to ignore the petty issues raised by Harry and Meghan.
Larcombe explained that the Invictus Games were a significant event for Harry and Meghan, and Kate had to gracefully accept that it was the "Harry and Meghan show" during those times. Kate's way of dealing with their actions is to maintain a dignified silence and carry on with her royal duties. Larcombe added that the strategy of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, known as "Keep Calm and Carry On," has proven successful thus far. They focus their energies on their responsibilities and avoid getting entangled in public spats. The royal couple refrains from engaging in tit-for-tat responses to Harry and Meghan's revelations, choosing instead to maintain their composure and dedication to their royal work.
