It’s not an advertisement for an event, it’s a plea. It’s precisely because they weren’t given any food that the Royals kept telling everyone that some dinner in 2023 would be rather welcome.

In reply to Ged Ladd. Try saying that with a mouth full of original salted peanuts.

In reply to Ged Ladd. Agreed. A nibble alluded to but not delivered is tantamount to torture.

In reply to Ged Ladd. That is even worse. That is immediately focusing people's minds and stomachs on food without following up and meeting that need.

In reply to sam.

To be fair, there is food on show in the photograph promoting the event, but that food could only be described as snacks – more the sort of fare one might expect at an event for The Hundred.

Do we suspect that this even was held at lunchtime, such that the absence of dinner was an absence of the meal that you, KC, together with other folk from the North of England, call dinner?

Or was the event held in the evening, making the absence of dinner an absence of the meal that I and many other English-speaking folk, call dinner?

I think it is very important that we readers know precisely which meal of the day was not served at this particular so-called-dinner event.
