Title: Royal Garden Tea Time Kickoff with King Charles and Queen Camilla

Get ready for some posh partying! On May 7th, the royal family, spearheaded by King Charles III (76) and his queen, Queen Camilla (77), hosted the year's first garden gathering at the prestigious Buckingham Palace under the sun.

King Charles, following the traditional garden party etiquette, donned a smart grey cutaway paired with a snazzy black top hat, while Queen Camilla dazzled in a dark teal number by Christian Dior, accessorized by a stylish Philip Treacy hat that complemented Charles' light blue waistcoat and pocket square. A posh lineup including Princess Anne (74), Prince Edward (61), Duchess Sophie (60), and the Duke, and Duchess of Gloucester were also there to hang and mingle.

Originating in the 1860s, these get-togethers are more than just a fancy soirée. They serve as a heartfelt thanksgiving for the commendable contributions of prominent members in the community and a tribute to public service, with around 30,000 guests invited every year.

The gates open for guests at 3 pm local time, followed by the royal family's entrance and a grand play of the national anthem by a military band. Delightful cake and tea await guests, while they take a leisurely stroll through the palace gardens or engage in discussions with royalty themselves.

Mark your calendars for more of these fabulous events this summer! Buckingham Palace has revealed that not one, not two, but three royal garden parties will take place- May 7th, May 20th (both at Buckingham Palace), and July 1st at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland.

For education enthusiasts, a themed garden party will take place on May 14th at Buckingham Palace. Known as the "Education and Skills" garden party, it will celebrate those making waves in the field of education with the support of the Department for Education.

And what could be more heartwarming than the annual garden party of the Not Forgotten Association on May 16th, hosted by the Duchess of Gloucester (78)? This event focuses on providing entertainment, leisure, and recreation for former and current military personnel, offering a meaningful experience that truly honors their service.

Remember, these events are not just about pomp and glamour. They showcase the royal family's dedication to charitable and community engagement, making each guest feel truly appreciated for their efforts in public service.
