Duke Becomes Samurai

If you have followed the whereabouts of the Duke of Cambridge this week, you’ll know he is in the midst of a trip to Japan and China. Earlier today, he paid a visit to the set of a historical drama at NHK Public Broadcasting Studios in Tokyo where he was offered to try out the costume of a Samurai warrior. The resulting photos are wonderful and the hat- well, it makes the British bearskins look downright boring in comparison!

  1. What an intricate costume! It is good to see the Duke of Cambridge enjoying himself, after the trauma of his parents’ divorce and the tragic death of his mother.

  2. What a great opportunity the Prince had to wear this magnificent costume! Somehow he managed to get away with this and still look regal!
