Oman is a sultanate on the southeastern Arabian Peninsula, known for maritime history, frankincense and a foreign policy of discreet mediation between regional rivals. Its flag’s green — a color of the October 2026 welcome, echoed in Kate’s coat — symbolizes fertility and the land. Britain’s ties with Oman run centuries deep, and Sultan Haitham’s state visit placed that old partnership at the top of the diplomatic agenda.
