Prince Richard, the Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess of Gloucester joined French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron for the Banquet hosted by the Lord Mayor and City of London at the Guildhall in London on the evening of July 9th, on the second day of the French State Visit to Britain.

The Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess of Gloucester represented the Royal Family at the Banquet hosted by the Lord Mayor and City of London Corporation for French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron at the Guildhall in London. The Lord Mayor and the President both gave speeches.

The Duchess wore the Gloucester Honeysuckle Tiara with a Pink Topaz and Diamond Necklace from Queen Mary, Diamond Earrings, several Diamond Brooches, the Order of the Garter, the Royal Family Order of King Charles III, and the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Duke of Gloucester wore White Tie with the Sash and Star of the Order of the Garter, the Star of the Royal Victorian Order, and his Medals. 

 

We got to see several spectacular Royal and Noble Tiaras worn at last night’s State Banquet held by the British Royal Family for French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron at Windsor Castle, for their State Visit to the United Kingdom this week.

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
