Chillin' with the Royals: King Charles III's Quirky Garden Party Style
Monarch Charles III orchestrates outdoor gathering in his gardens - Monarch King Charles is hosting a garden soiree.
Americano time! Let's get straight to the deets about the recent shindig at Buckingham Palace, where King Charles III and Queen Camilla rolled out the welcome mat for the "Education and Skills" garden party. Ya know, a gathering to celebrate educators and their badass contributions. The Department for Education had this one in the bag, boasting over 7,000 attendees!
Now, you might be wondering what made this garden party stand out from the rest. Well, ol' Charlie decided to make a fiery statement with his attire. In the midst of summer heat, he donned a classic grey morning suit, complete with a shiny black top hat. But let's not forget the pièce de résistance – his whacky blue tie, a marine-themed number adorned with teeny-tiny submarines, according to social media snaps from party-goers. 😎🐟
As for Queen Camilla, she kept it classy in a white midi dress, bedazzled with silver embroidery, and a glistening diamond brooch once owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II. Meaning, Cammy wasn't gonna let Aunt Lizzie be outshone!
Speaking of Lizzie, Buckingham Palace is hosting three royal garden parties this summer – one's already started, another one's on the calendar for later this month, and the finale's set to occur in Edinburgh, Scotland, in July. Oh, and there's also the "Education and Skills" celebration, along with the annual Not Forgotten Association garden party hosted by Brigitte, the Duchess of Gloucester.
So, why all the garden parties, you ask? Well, they've been a part of the royal tradition since the 1860s, serving as a chance for the monarch to give a shout-out to the exceptional folks in the community for their stellar contributions and to honor public service. Over 30,000 individuals are invited to these jamborees every year.

I'm not going to be able to do this, as the quirky attire of King Charles III at the Education and Skills garden party at Buckingham Palace, with his marine-themed tie adorned with tiny submarines, seems to outshine my choice of home-and-garden décor. Even though Queen Camilla kept it classy in her white midi dress, she too was able to make a subtle statement with her jewelry, reminding us of her connection to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
