The appointment is at Buckingham Palace, which opens its doors to receive the first state visit in this new phase. It will be the one in which the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, and his wife, Dr. Tshepo Motsepe, about to play the lead role, pay a visit to the United Kingdom, where they will be until Thursday if nothing changes. The details of this journey of the South Africans on the islands is carried out with great discretion. Hardly any details have been revealed, but for now it is Carlos’ debut on these frontiers. But also the first big style duel. Whose?

We are, of course, talking about the stylistic rendering they promise to give Kate Middleton Y Camilla Parker Bowles. And it is that, despite no official confirmation, the Princess of Wales and her husband Guillermo are expected to accompany the King and Queen on this visit by South African leaders. One of the big questions is knowing which outfit the Queen and Princess will choose. Not too many artifices are expected, as Isabel II’s death is still very recent. What is non-negotiable is that the dress code It will be demanding and of high etiquette as cost dictates at this type of event.

That this is the case implies that they could well get some impressive pieces from the royal jeweler. It’s where the tiaras. The bets are open and almost all the local media are betting because Lady Di’s mother-in-law chooses one of her favorite jewels, the diadem Lover’s button which he usually wears on most occasions.

This jewel has a long history behind it. It was also a favorite of Diana of Wales. Spencer used it while married to the current King Carlos III.

Nevertheless, it didn’t stop the Duchess of Cambridge and Cornwall from falling in love with it,” he argued. . .

And what can be expected from Camilla Parker? Initially, none of the prominent pieces from Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry box are expected to debut. His departure is very recent. As reported by the royal expert Andrea Mori in looks likeandIt is to be hoped that she does not wear a tiara, instead resorting to some of the diadems she wore during her time as Duchess of Cornwall..

It should be noted that it will be the first state dinner hosted by Buckingham Palace since the Diplomatic Corps came into effect in 2019. Whether due to the pandemic or other reasons, almost 3 years have passed without any action. This inertia will be broken tonight.
