The Duke of Cambridge wore a blue blazer with a collared shirt and gave a speech during the reception that saw him mention both Kate and the queen. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am honoured to convey the very warmest wishes from my grandmother, The Queen of Belize, on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee," William said. He referenced how the queen was fond of Belize, bringing up her mention of a "gibnut" in particular.

It appears William and Kate enjoyed themselves during the reception— perhaps they even broke out their dance moves again!
