Prince Charles took the place of the Queen once again today to host Buckingham Palace's first garden party since the pandemic.
It comes a day after Charles also stepped in for his mother, who continues to suffer from mobility problems, at the State Opening of Parliament and read the Queen's speech for the first time ever.
This afternoon, the prince was joined by his wife Camilla and sister Princess Anne as they braved London's wet weather to greet the guests who had been invited to the first party of the season.
