The Royal Family hosted the first annual Garden Party of 2026 at Buckingham Palace on May 6th. There are usually three annual Garden Parties hosted by the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyrood House for around 30,000 guests yearly, as well as a few special others.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla were joined by the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester as they hosted this year’s first Garden Party in the spectacular gardens of Buckingham Palace.
The members of the Royal Family stood for the national anthem before meeting some of the 8,000 guests while making their way towards the Royal Tea Tent, where they met further guests.
