King Charles and The Queen Consort Camilla held their first official garden party yesterday, May 3rd – celebrating a tradition that dates back to the 19th century. The event, which took place in Buckingham Palace, was the first of two Garden Parties that will take place on the famous grounds – as well as one at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
The London landmark (and arguably the most famous Royal residence worldwide) has hosted garden parties since June 1868, during Queen Victoria's reign. However, in more modern history, the events were best associated with Queen Elizabeth II, who used it to meet with charity workers and community representatives on the iconic grounds.
