It’s not rain, it’s next year’s whisky, was one attendee’s take on the downpours at the annual garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Heavy rain lashed down in the gardens on Tuesday as 6,000 guests gathered to meet the King and Queen as well as the Princess Royal. Camilla told one attendee she was “remarkably dry” as party-goers huddled under umbrellas to keep out of the rain.
Among those speaking to the King was Sandy McPherson, who attended with his wife Catherine and granddaughter Sarah. Mrs McPherson said: “Well, it’s good for the ground.”
