Title: Queen's Dress Eclipsed by Multicoloured Gown of Wife of the President of Ghana
Post by: cinrit on October 24, 2014, 12:37:59 PM
QuoteThursday was a busy day for the monarch as she and Prince Philip first bid farewell to Singapore's President at the end of his state visit before welcoming the President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama.

The Queen, showing no sign of fatigue at her back-to-back schedule, greeted Mr Dramani and his wife Lordina Mahama in her study at Buckingham Place having just waved off President Tony Tan Keng Yam and his wife Mary with Prince Philip.

While the 88-year-old wore an elegant cream boucle dress to greet the Ghanaian president, accessorised with a gold brooch and string of pearls, Lordina wore an eye catching floor length multi-coloured gown.

The DM can be so silly most of the time.
Some cultures love bright colors and some don't.
I don't see anyone being eclipsed.

I found this so insensitive and ignorant way of expressing themselves...

It's a royal frock-off! The Queen's demure dress is eclipsed by the bold multicoloured gown of wife of the President of Ghana as the three meet in Buckingham Palace

The prints and colors are a cultural expression...
