King Charles III and Queen Camilla are hosting an elegant white tie and tiara reception at Buckingham Palace tonight, welcoming the country’s top diplomats to the heart of British diplomacy.
The event, traditionally held on the first Tuesday of December, promises to be a grand occasion, marking the largest reception at the palace this year.
Prince William will join King Charles and Queen Camilla at the event, alongside other members of the royal family.
The Prince of Wales will take part in greeting the esteemed guests, a significant moment of royal duty.
However, there is one notable absence from the eveningâs proceedings: Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
The diplomatic reception, which has been brought forward this year to avoid conflicting with the state visit of the Amir of Qatar, will highlight the monarchy’s key role in British diplomacy. The event will feature a greeting line where members of the royal family will meet and greet the guests before a drinks reception, a buffet dinner, and dancing in the palace ballroom.
