We're the hosts more dressed up than him on those occasions as well?

After looking at more photos of the dinner it seems Charles dressed according to the dress code and for some reason the host decided to wear a tux instead...to the dinner he organized and hosted. An interesting choice to make.
......but then again maybe the FO wants to embarass the King for some reason.
I don´t think looking what you are, royal !, has nothing to do with "colonialism" what so ever... I sometimes feel "the Royals" are a bit ashamed of being royal these days - and that is a very disturbing development IMO.They are both being very understated indeed, it looks like they are going out of their way not to look 'colonial' with no big hats, tiaras, orders, uniforms etc. I do think Charles has taken it too far though in wearing a lounge suit to the state banquet. The President is in black tie and Charles should have worn the same. Sometimes if you are too casual it can look a bit insulting in itself whereas Camilla struck the right note looking very well put together without being over the top.
None of those were state visits or state dinners. Charles was not king at the time, they were official dinners.
I just love these conspiracy theories on this forum. Nothing can be a misunderstanding or another explanation there it is always somebody doing something underhand. Love reading them. If they do not attend an event it is because they think themselves too good, or remember Charles evicted Angela, some people just love there to be a sinister motive. Charles wore a suit so he offended his host.None of those were state visits or state dinners. Charles was not king at the time, they were official dinners.
I think that is correct. Charles is unlikely to get such a detail wrong. I can only assume either the dress code was not clear, or the host decided to upgrade his attire without informing his guest.
Now that is a theory: the government of the day, acting through the FCO, attempting to act against the King on his first state visit to a Commonwealth country. Lets see if this theory can be substantiated further!
Maybe but the codes and protocol were exatly the same as State dinners, even refered as such by the press.
Since when did we believe everything the press said .

Since when some people apparently lost some common sense ?
Not quite. The BRF have always made a clear distinctionb between state visits and oifficial visits, state dinners and official dinners.
Trips overseas by C&C, prior to Charles acceding to the throne, were official visits. No tiaras (barring CHOGM), and black tie / lounge suits, not white tie dinners.
Very true, I believe nothing without facts, I don’t mind opinions I have plenty of those myself or even suggestions or thoughts.
