King Charles and Queen Camilla kicked off garden party season on Wednesday of last week with an incredible celebration at Buckingham Palace, followed by Prince William and Princess Kate hosting one two days later. Both events were masterclasses in the art of hosting and summer dressing with incredible canapes, endless champagne and a sea of floral dresses as far as the eye could see.
Today, Tuesday 12 May, the monarch and his wife have stepped out for the third and final garden party at the palace. Gates opened at 3pm and at 4pm the royals arrived to kick start the festivities. Charles and Camilla were also joined by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Two military bands provided the soundtrack for the hundreds of guests to mingle and possibly get the chance to chat to a royal. We have the best photos from inside the event. Keep scrolling to see…
