Catherine, Princess of Wales

The surprise outing came after a visit to a hospice where the royal paired unexpected fashion items with her Victoria Beckham suit.

The monarch’s soft diplomacy skills will be put to the test when he begins the eight-day tour next week.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are yet to admit they made many mistakes, something they must do before the royals listen.

The royal couple had their game faces on as they arrived for the glitzy event hours after Prince Harry pleaded for reconciliation on TV.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have once again stepped up to take part in a state visit, alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla.

It’s business as usual for the British royals as uncertainty about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s future continues.

Optics matter, especially with Harry and Meghan. And Team Sussex will be taking this as a major win.

William was later seen posing for selfies, something royals were previously banned from doing.

“They know it would be too awkward and too difficult.”

It was rumoured Harry and Meghan intended to say sorry to the Wales’ as part of a wider effort toward reconciliation.
