There was attention in the politics of the seating arrangement during the general election campaign.
The King, Queen, Prince William, and the Japanese royal couple were seated at the top table, which did not include Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of Labour, was seated next to Sir Clive Alderton, the King’s private secretary, if small conversation was to take place.
The heads of both parties were likely forced to pass on the Coates and Seely Brut Reserve, the Chateau Angludet, Margaux, and the Laurent Perrier Cuvee Rose because they are participating in a television discussion tomorrow night.
They were playing songs like They Can’t Take That Away from Me, Skyfall, and I Don’t Know How to Love Him in the background, so maybe there were messages in the music.
The strong friendship between the UK and Japan was mentioned in King’s address.
In the fields of science, culture, trade, and defense, the King declared, “Ours is a partnership with deep roots.”
He also noted the “Pokemon phrase ‘gotta catch ’em all'” and various other Japanese contributions to popular culture, such as the Hello Kitty trademark.
