Palace Drops STUNNING NEW PHOTO of Prince Princess of Wales Nigerian state banquet

Kensington Palace dropped stunning new photo of Prince and Princess of Wales before Nigerian State Banquet. Hello and welcome back to Royal Insider News, your go-to source for all the latest from the British Royal Family. Kensington Palace has just released a stunning new portrait of the Prince and Princess of Wales, taken right before they attended the glamorous Nigerian State Banquet at Windsor Castle. This special photo captures their Royal Highnesses looking absolutely radiant ahead of Wednesday evening's historic event. The banquet honoured the state visit of Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, the first Nigerian state visit to the UK in nearly 37 years. The image, taken by talented British-Nigerian photographer Christiana Ebenezer, shows the couple in full white-tie elegance. Prince William looks dashing in his formal attire, while the Princess of Wales absolutely dazzles in an emerald green gown by designer Andrew Jean, a just perfect nod to the green in the Nigerian flag, symbolising unity and friendship between the UK and Nigeria. She completed the look with Queen Mary's iconic Lover's Knot tiara, one of her favourite pieces, famously worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Queen Mother's sapphire and diamond fringe earrings, adding that extra sparkle and a touching tribute to royal heritage. The couple joined King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and other senior royals at Windsor Castle's St George's Hall for an evening of toasts, diplomacy and celebration. The Princess was even seated next to President Tinubu, sharing smiles and clinking glasses during the festivities. Kensington Palace's release of this portrait highlights the warmth and glamour of the occasion, and fans are loving it, calling the couple gorgeous and timeless. It's a beautiful reminder of the royal's role in strengthening international ties. This portrait continues a lovely recent tradition for, the French state visit in July 2025, Kensington Palace released a glamorous pre-banquet shot of William and Kate at Windsor Castle.
