Thank you to third did a little Instagram search for the photographer for the Prince and Princess of Wales portrait. Here you go, Nigerian photographer as well as the lighting Director, props, and studio were all Nigerian. No one can say they really do not put thought and effort into these engagements.

From red to gold, blue to green… every look is effortlessly regal 👑✨ The Princess of Wales continues to shine in these stunning state banquet portraits—grace, elegance, and future Queen energy in every detail. Which look is your favorite? 👀

The Princess—as usual—is using her outfit in a very clever way. So much thought goes into her looks. Also, that corset detail? AMAZING. katemiddletonstyle.org/nigeria-presid…

Andrew Gn tells me he created this gown for the Princess of Wales in 2022, before retiring in 2023. He describes it as part of a belief in “heritage design” — beautifully made pieces to be treasured and passed down to the next generation, much like jewelry. 💚

@akersten5 @WhatKateWore I suspect it's started, and the photos are embargoed until later for some reason. I feel like that's what's happened in the past.

@KateMiddStyle @WhatKateWore Do you know what time these thing start?

If you need a refresher while we wait, here are all the glittering gowns and sparkling tiaras that the Princess of Wales has worn to State Banquets so far: katemiddletonstyle.org/state-banquets/

I would say, Mrs. Coker is very happy that Catherine is wearing her design. She put this on her Instagram stories.🥰

That’d make sense
