Prince William and Kate’s new portrait pleasantly surprised fans after their recent break from tradition.
Captured by young British-Nigerian photographer Christianah Ebenezer before the Nigerian state banquet in Windsor, the image shows the couple side by side.
Catherine delivered a remarkable fashion moment in a flowing green dress by Andrew Gn, a subtle homage to Nigeria’s national colors.
The look was elevated with the iconic Lover’s Knot tiara, her first tiara appearance of the year, alongside antique earrings worn by Queen Elizabeth II.
The royal attire was completed by the Royal Family Order of King Charles and the GCVO sash and star.
William matched the occasion with a white tie and Windsor tailcoat, presenting a perfect royal duo ahead of the high-profile evening.
For Ebenezer, this moment marked a major milestone. Born in Lagos and raised in London, the photographer described the experience as a “true honour”.
Although it was her first time photographing the Prince and Princess of Wales, she was no stranger to royal circles.
She has previously produced 60th birthday portraits of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and won recognition from the likes of Lady Amelia Windsor.
The presentation of the portrait took place 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.
