Prince William has been lauded for his exceptional hosting of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako during their visit to London. The Japanese Emperor and Empress were warmly welcomed by King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince of Wales at Horse Guards Parade on Tuesday.
Following the welcoming ceremony, the Japanese royals attended a state banquet at Buckingham Palace alongside prominent members of the British Royal Family. GB News presenter Isabel Webster praised Prince William's role during this historic visit, highlighting his effective use of "soft diplomacy."
Webster shared that presenter Stephen Dixon overheard a conversation between William and the Emperor, where William discussed recent earthquakes in Japan and various political issues in a gentle, diplomatic manner. Royal historian Martyn Whittock emphasized the significant role the Royal Family plays in British soft power, a sentiment echoed by Webster's observations of Prince William's diplomatic efforts.
