Groovin' with the Tie-Wearin' King at Buckingham's Garden Bash
Monarch Charles, in a festive display, hosts a lively outdoor event in a well-tended garden - Monarch King Charles holds a garden celebration.
Last Wednesday marked the whirlwind "Education and Skills" festival cuisine at Buckingham Palace, saluting the hardworking fellows in the education sector. Sponsored by the Department for Education, the soiree united close to 7k movers and shakers from the educational sphere. With King Charles III (76) and Queen Camilla (77) warming up guests in balmy temperatures on the lawn, sumptuous memories were captured on camera by the palace for the "fabulous souls in education."
The buzz, as circulated by the British Daily Mail, was the peculiar detail about Charles' ensemble. The monarch rocked a sleek grey morning garb paired with a black topper, in line with the dress code for garden gatherings. What really took the spotlight, though, was his swank cream waistcoat teamed with a sky blue tie carrying an assortment of mini submarines—scenes from the garden party went viral on social media. Queen Camilla, so the Daily Mail spilled, was resplendent in a crisp white midi dress accented with silver embroidery by Anna Valentine, a headgear by Philip Treacy, and the diamond Jardine-Star brooch of the late Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) for the alfresco affair.
The Blossoming Season of Garden Gatherings
Word on the street has it that Buckingham Palace is choosin' to host three royal garden bashes this summer season. The first, which unfolded on May 7 at none other than Buckingham Palace in the heart of London, is followed by another on May 20 at the same dreamy locale. The third charmer is slated for July 1 at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in dazzling Edinburgh, Scotland.
Among these three royal gatherings, two themed throwdowns have been announced, with the recent "Education and Skills" celebration being one of them. On May 16, the festivities continue when Princess Birgitte, the Duchess of Gloucester (78), throws the annual garden get-together of the Not Forgotten Association at the palace. The organization is dedicated to providing entertainment, pastimes, and relaxation for retired military personnel and active servicemen.
The custom of the garden gathering can be traced all the way back to the 1860s and functions as an opportunity for the reigning monarch to express gratitude to exemplary members of society for their selfless contributions and to laud public service. Each year, over 30k folks are invited to these various garden soirees.

I'm not going to be able to maintain my current home-and-garden lifestyle due to the upcoming series of garden parties at Buckingham Palace this summer, as I'm not able to attend every single one.
Despite Queen Camilla's elegant appearance at the recent garden party hosted by Buckingham Palace, it was Prince Charles and his unique tie that caught the attention of the Daily Mail and Instagram users.
