King Charles and Queen Camilla pulled out all the stops for a very grand visit from Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, including a sumptuous feast of Britain’s finest at Buckingham Palace. The group dined on poached langoustines – aka posh prawns – basil mousse, turbot – aka fancy fish – quail eggs, sorbet and peaches. No doubt they had a great time, but we’re not so sure about PM Rishi Sunak and his political rival Keir Starmer… With the UK election just one week away, reports say there may have been some strategic seating as Starmer was next to Charles’ private secretary, while Sunak sat with a computer scientist. There were some notable absences as well… Princess Anne is “recovering well” after being injured by a horse. David Attenborough also wasn’t there but probably got a mention given the similarity of his new portrait to Charles’. Hopefully, the monarch wasn’t green with envy…
