Prince William and Kate’s new portrait pleasantly surprised fans after their recent break with tradition.
Captured by up-and-coming British-Nigerian photographer Christianah Ebenezer ahead of the Nigerian state banquet in Windsor, the image shows the couple side by side.
Catherine provided a standout fashion moment in a flowy green dress by Andrew Gn, a subtle tribute to Nigeria’s national colors.
The look was elevated with the iconic Lover’s Knot Tiara, her first tiara appearance of the year, along with traditional earrings once worn by Queen Elizabeth II.
Completing the royal attire were the Royal Family Order of King Charles and the GCVO sash and star.
William accessorized the occasion with a white tie and Windsor tailcoat, presenting a picture-perfect royal couple ahead of the high-profile soirée.
For Ebenezer, the moment marked an important milestone. Born in Lagos and raised in London, the photographer described the experience as a “true honour”.
While it was her first time photographing the Prince and Princess of Wales, she was no stranger to royal circles.
He previously took portraits of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh’s 60th birthday, winning recognition from figures including Lady Amelia Windsor.
The presentation of the portrait occurred amid a busy schedule surrounding the state visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, who arrived in the United Kingdom on March 18.
