Buckingham Palace has been the focus of attention for all followers of the British monarchy. It became the epicenter of a unique social event, with a warm atmosphere full of expectation. In every corner of the garden, history and tradition were palpable, while the royal family shared a space filled with emotion.
One of the year's most desired activities was held at the palace. The royal garden was transformed into a perfect setting to celebrate the commitment to the community. This event reflects the monarchy's values and closeness to those who have excelled in various areas.
An unexpected encounter that won Camilla's heart
When Queen Camilla arrived at the event, her love for animals became evident. Upon seeing a guide dog named Haworth, accompanied by his owner, Jeanette Binns, the Queen didn't hesitate to approach. "Well, it's a great honor for me to meet him," expressed the Queen, visibly moved as she petted the dog.
Binns couldn't contain her excitement: "He's the first guide dog to meet the Queen," she commented. The owner also joked: "He overdid it a bit. He knows how to impress," a moment that will remain etched in the memory of all present.
The royal style and glamour of Charles III and Camilla
Queen Camilla, as always, dazzled with her style. She wore a teal dress by Christian Dior that perfectly matched a delicate diamond and turquoise brooch. This historic jewel was previously worn by Queen Elizabeth II and has witnessed moving moments.
This turquoise brooch is the one Queen Elizabeth II wore when delivering the 2020 speech during the pandemic. At that time, the monarch delivered moving words, the most remembered being: "Better days will return."
The brooch, a wedding gift to Queen Mary in 1893, added a touch of history to Queen Camilla's look. It was a moment of music and culture, with performances by the bands of the Welsh Guards and the Royal Marines Commando Training Center. They played songs from classic musicals, creating an atmosphere of top-level and sophistication.
Charles III keeps a traditional event with some absentees
Every year, the garden parties at Buckingham Palace bring together a diverse crowd. At this event, more than 27,000 cups of tea and 20,000 sandwiches and cakes are enjoyed. This event has been kept since the time of Queen Victoria and has become an emblem of royal tradition, with 30,000 people attending each year.
This year, the party was attended by the most important members of the royal family. However, the major absentees from this event were Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. Despite the emotional nature of the celebration, Charles III keeps his distance due to the recent events involving Harry.
The next party will be on May 20. The big question is whether by that date reconciliation will have been achieved between Prince Harry, Charles III, and the entire royal family.
