JAMAICA – Kate Middleton is honoring her host country of Jamaica with the second glamorous look of her and Prince William‘s Caribbean tour. She has always been known for her elegant way of dressing and trying to incorporate something special about the country that she is visiting to. This has not been the first time that Kate has turned heads in awe of how beautiful she looked.
The couple attended a special dinner on Wednesday evening at King’s House, the official residence of the Governor-General of Jamaica, Sir Patrick Allen, who represents Queen Elizabeth. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are currently on the second leg of their tour of the Caribbean in honor of the monarch’s Platinum Jubilee.
For the event, Kate wore a sparkling green Jenny Packham gown, paying homage to the color of Jamaica’s flag. She wore her hair in a chic updo and accessorized her look with emerald jewels on loan from the Queen.
She also wore her special insignia, the Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victoria Order (GCVO) and the Royal Family Order badge, which she reserves for formal royal occasions such as state dinners and banquets.
For the first time, the royal couple is facing significant backlash on an official tour. Although they have received warm welcomes from many locals, they are also encountering mounting tensions in the Caribbean nations where William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, remains head of state.
Outside the U.K., the Queen remains head of state in 14 nations around the world (including Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas) — an arrangement that critics say is excruciatingly outdated.
Although this little bit of negativity did not hinder the royal visit it did however spark a light for the royal family. There will be steps taken by the royal family to somewhat make right the situation and these times of wars and anger this seems like a peaceful ending.
