Today’s coverage of the BRF with the Emir of Qatar. The Government tells the King whom to greet and the King complies graciously as his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II did. Soft diplomacy in spite of controversy. (1) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVT3... - ThreadSky

Particularly wonderful to see the Edinburghs, Gloucesters and Edward, The Duke of Kent there. The major royals are there in soft diplomacy in support of The King in his official host position.

(4) Final. Raw footage again as it was livestreamed. Procession to the hall. TMs, William and The Princess Royal lead them in along with their guests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gld_CHZytIo&pp=ygUQQmFucXVldCBmb3IgZW1pcg%3D%3D

I don’t dispute the Emir’s visit is controversial. HM (like his mother, ERII) takes on these visitors at the call of the current government. For those of you who say ERII would never receive a dictator, you’re incorrect. In all cases, she had no choice. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/queen-s-birthday-7-dictators-and-leaders-with-human-rights-abuses-elizabeth-ii-has-met-a6989401.html

Last: HM will continue to receive whom the current government dictates whom he host to. William will be told to do the same thing as Sovereign. Like Elizabeth II, they will do so gracefully and warmly.
