On March 21, 2026, the Royal House of Georgia hosted a gala dinner at The London West Hollywood as part of the Royal Visit to the Americas. Held in honor of Their Royal Highnesses Prince Davit and Prince Giorgi, the dinner celebrated the newly invested Knights and Dames of the Royal Orders of Georgia and brought together approximately sixty guests.
The evening followed the investiture held earlier that day, during which new members were formally received into the Royal Orders of Georgia. All those invested were present at the dinner, joined by officials of the Royal House, invited guests, friends, and supporters.
Guests were welcomed with cocktails before the formal dinner, allowing the day to settle into a more personal and relaxed evening. Following the formality of the investiture, the dinner offered an opportunity to catch up with one another, offer congratulations, and enjoy the company of those gathered in Los Angeles for the Royal Visit.
During the evening, His Excellency Major Jason Hatch, Rector Coordinator for the United States, presented His Royal Highness Prince Davit with a ceremonial saber as a gesture of loyalty, respect, and appreciation. West Hollywood Councilman John M. Erickson, PhD, also presented certificates of recognition from the City of West Hollywood to His Royal Highness Prince Davit and His Highness Tavadi Kimon Andreou in honor of the Royal Visit.
The dinner also included a moment of remembrance following the recent passing of His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia. Guests observed a minute of silence in honor of his life, spiritual leadership, and service to Georgia and the Georgian Orthodox Church.
The evening was marked by warmth, gratitude, and a clear sense of shared purpose. It celebrated those newly invested into the Royal Orders of Georgia while honoring the presence of Their Royal Highnesses Prince Davit and Prince Giorgi in Los Angeles.
The gala dinner brought a meaningful day to a close and offered friends and supporters of the Royal House a memorable evening of camaraderie, reflection, and friendship.
The evening also included a joyful surprise during the cocktail reception: His Excellency Major Jason Hatch, KGEG, Rector Coordinator for the United States, proposed to his fiancée, Ms. Tamara Kucik, DEG. The Royal House is pleased to report that she said yes.
