Prince William and Kate’s new portrait pleasantly surprised fans after their recent break from tradition.
Captured by rising British-Nigerian photographer Christianah Ebenezer ahead of the Nigerian State Banquet in Windsor, the image shows the couple side by side.
Catherine delivered a unique fashion moment in a flowing green dress by Andrew Gn, a subtle homage to Nigeria’s national colours.
The look was elevated with the iconic Lover’s Knot Tiara, her first tiara appearance of the year, along with heirloom earrings once worn by Queen Elizabeth II.
The Royal Family Order of King Charles and the GCVO sash and star completed the royal outfit.
William matched the occasion in all-white tie and a Windsor coat, presenting a picture-perfect royal couple ahead of the high-profile evening.
For Ebenezer, the moment marked a major 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.
She has previously shot 60th birthday portraits for Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and gained recognition from figures such as Lady Amelia Windsor.
The portrait drop came amid a busy schedule surrounding the state visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, who arrived in the UK on March 18.
