King Charles is showing no signs of slowing down! Just days after he returned from a state visit to the United States and Bermuda, the monarch is hosting the first garden party of the year at Buckingham Palace, and it coincided with the anniversary of his coronation.
The King, who was looking incredibly suave in a black suit, was joined by his wife, Queen Camilla, and two of his younger siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward. The Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were also among the royals in attendance.
The royal quartet was seen standing at the top of the stairs, before descending into the gardens where they interacted with the assembled guests.
The party at Buckingham Palace paid tribute to frontline workers across the United Kingdom, whether through volunteer work, working for the emergency services or supporting charitable causes.
