Donald Trump receives a hidden rebuke from Princess Kate, allegedly targeted at Meghan.
Princess Kate attended the State Banquet for US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania, held on Wednesday. The event was a significant moment in Anglo-American relations, and Kate's choice of attire was a topic of discussion.
Royal experts suggest that Kate's dress, a full-length, hand-embroidered gold Chantilly lace evening coat and a silk crepe gown, was a nod to Trump Tower, the iconic building known for its gold finish, built by President Trump himself. However, it's important to note that no specific colour scheme was mentioned in relation to Trump Tower.
Emily Nash, a royal editor, described Kate's choice of dress as a 'neat way' of differentiating from the French state visit's colour scheme, which typically features the traditional red, white, and blue colours. The flowers on the table at the state banquet were also chosen to differentiate from the French state visit's floral arrangements.
Kate's decision to wear gold could be seen as a subtle gesture, reflecting the grandeur of Trump Tower while maintaining a sense of British elegance. The Palace was under pressure to give Trump the full-pomp of the state banquet, and Kate's dress, designed by British fashion designer Phillipa Lepley, contributed to boosting British fashion during the event.
Trump expressed praise towards Princess Kate during the visit, calling her 'so radiant, so healthy, and so beautiful.' Despite previous public expressions of dislike towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Trump remained silent on matters concerning the Duchess of Sussex during this visit. Meghan Markle herself has referred to Trump as 'misogynistic' in 2016, but more recent comments from her do not reflect any criticism of the President.
Kate's interactions during the visit were perceived as pleasant and genuine. Prince William accompanied her, and their demeanour was reported to be warm and welcoming. Emily Nash, a royal editor, stated that Kate's choice of dress was a masterclass in diplomatic dressing, a subtle yet impactful way of navigating the intricate dynamics of international relations.
