On Wednesday (March 18), King Charles hosted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, alongside Camilla, Kate and Wills and some 160 guests. The 44-year-old looked nothing short of sensational as she stepped out in the floor-length green gown, which she accessorised with the King Charles III Royal Family Order and GCVO Sash and star and a Lover&#8217;s Knot Tiara.<\/p>\n<p>The dress by Andrew Gn is matched with earrings from the late Queen and the same tiara she wore at <a href=\"https:\/\/express.co.uk\/latest\/donald-trump\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump<\/a>&#8216;s state visit in September. The mum-of-three&#8217;s gown also diplomatically matched the green on the Nigerian flag as she took her seat beside the President for a three-course meal.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the present royals added to the glamorous display, with the Prince of Wales wearing a white tie with the Windsor tailcoat and his Most Noble Order of the Garter Sash with the &#8216;Lesser George&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Queen Camilla sported a cream embroidered gown by Fiona Clare, which she paired with a sapphire and diamond tiara and matching earrings, both belonging to Queen Elizabeth II and given to her by her late father, George VI, as a wedding gift.<\/p>\n<p>The King also wore a blinding array of diamond-studded orders as he led the procession into the banquet hall and stood to give a speech. But it&#8217;s fair to say that some Brits were surprised at Kate&#8217;s extravagant display at the state banquet.<\/p>\n<p>After pictures of the event hit headlines, broadcaster Liz Kershaw took to X &#8211; formerly known as Twitter &#8211; to share her shock at her appearance online. She penned: &#8220;Why the hell is the future Queen dressed like this tonight at Windsor Castle? In England? In the 21st century?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, many of her followers called the presenter out for her cruel comments in the replies section, with one user fuming: &#8220;I thought she looked lovely &#8211; as always. What&#8217;s your issue? Would you like her to challenge her guests or engage with them? There&#8217;s good sense, good taste, good manners on display, and you say &#8216;What the hell?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another agreed: &#8220;She looks fabulous. You are just too accustomed to women walking around and being photographed half-naked; a fully dressed person still looks beautiful.&#8221; A third echoed: &#8220;She is wearing the colour of the Nigerian flag in honour of the guest&#8230; [eyes-rolling emoji].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A fourth pointed out: &#8220;She is dressed appropriately to honour the visiting dignitaries&#8217; cultural values of modesty. The dress was made for her in 2022, and like Anne, who wore a coat from 1969, she recycled it. Catherine is respectful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A fifth added: &#8220;Disappointed in you, who I quite like. You have created a mass pile on with religious tropes! Nice one [thumbs up emoji] Catherine is wearing a dress suitable for the evening in the colours of the guests&#8217; flag. She looks classy, refined &amp; beautiful as always.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BBC presenter Liz Kernshaw took aim at Princess Kate as she turned heads at her fourth Windsor Castle&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1578,1643,93,61,60,4775,161295,161296,161298,161297,625,17271,4638,4639],"class_list":["post-355112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-bbc","tag-bbc-radio-2","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kate-middleton","tag-kate-middleton-dress","tag-liz-kershaw","tag-liz-kershaw-bbc","tag-liz-kershaw-kate-middleton","tag-princess-catherine","tag-princess-kate","tag-princess-of-wales","tag-royal-family"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
