Catherine Joins UK Royals for Emir of Qatar’s State Visit amid Queen Camilla’s Absence
In a grand display of diplomacy, the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, begins a state visit to the UK. While Queen Camilla is sidelined due to a chest infection, Catherine, Princess of Wales, marks her return to public duties by participating in a carriage procession. The visit includes ceremonial events such as a banquet at Buckingham Palace and a meeting with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, despite expected protests regarding Qatar’s record on LGBT rights.
