King Charles Hosts First Palace Garden Party Miles Away From Prince Harry’s Invictus Event

King Charles Hosts First Palace Garden Party Miles Away From Prince Harry’s Invictus Event.

King Charles is hosting Buckingham Palace's first garden party of the year, and on the very day his son, Prince Harry, is back in London to honor his beloved Invictus Games.

King Charles and Queen Camilla officially kicked off the first garden party of 2024 at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, March 8, continuing a longstanding royal tradition dating back to the 1860s.

At the same time, and just a few miles down the road, the monarch's son, Prince Harry, is attending an Invictus Games 10th anniversary service at St. Paul's Cathedral. The Duke of Sussex founded the Paralympic-style competition for veterans and those currently serving in the armed forces in 2014.

Earlier this week, a spokesperson for Prince Harry confirmed King Charles was too busy to meet with his son during his U.K. visit.
