Princess Kate and Prince William served as the royal welcoming committee during the royal family's first state visit to the UK in 2026. They met with the president of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his wife, Oluremi Tinuba, marking the start of their state visit. Kate Middleton, who typically bends into a curtsy for the King and Queen, opted for a less formal greeting, while Prince William used a more formal pair of cheek kisses. The visit is part of a tradition that includes a state banquet in the Nigerian leader's honor and a traditional gift exchange.
