The Royal Family hosted the last annual Garden Party of 2026 at Buckingham Palace on May 12th. 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, following the first held on May 6th, and the second held on May 8th.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester as they hosted this year’s last 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.
