A whirlwind week ended with an elegant dinner at a royal castle for golf star Charley Hull.
The 29-year-old Brit attended Thursday night’s state banquet at Windsor Castle just days after winning the Kroger Queen City Championship.
She shared several photos on Instagram of herself getting prepped for the big event while showing off a champagne-colored dress along with jeweled heels and an Yves Saint Laurent bag.
The blonde bombshell, who went viral last year for smoking on the golf course while competing, also wrote that it was an honour to “finally” meet U.S. president Donald Trump.
“Swapped the golf gear for something a little more fancy,” Hull wrote on her Instagram Story with the ‘shh,’ crown and British flag emojis.
“An unforgettable evening at Windsor Castle,” Hull captioned her post on both Instagram and X. “It was an honour to be invited by the King and Queen to the State Banquet. And great to finally meet President Trump.
“One for the memory books.”
Hull is coming off a stunning win at TPC River’s Bend in Maineville, Ohio, which she won by one stroke after leader — and world No. 1 — Jeeno Thitikul four-putted the finale hole of the tournament. The win was Hull’s first LPGA title in three years.
The win put Hull into the top five of the Rolex world women’s rankings, moving up three places, which she celebrated by sharing on her Instagram Story on Thursday morning. Her previous high in the world rankings had been seventh overall last year.
“I guess it’s not over until the fat lady sings,” Hull said after the tournament. “But I was shaking over that last putt because I just didn’t expect it.
“Jeeno played great today. She was very solid,” Hull added. “Unfortunate what happened to her on the last hole.”
Earlier this year, Hull made headlines after she was forced to withdraw from the Evian Championship in July after collapsing to the ground twice because of a virus.
Organizers of the tournament said Hull felt unwell received medical attention after collapsing. She then got up and hit a shot before going to the ground again. Hull underwent medical checks that showed she had a virus, but otherwise was OK.
The English LPGA Tour star became a viral sensation after a practice round at last year’s U.S. Women’s Open for a video showing her signing autographs with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.
