King Charles’ coronation exemplified the best of British with the exquisite pomp and pageantry that the royal family is famous for and there was certainly no let-up in royal appearances in the days that followed.
The annual garden parties at royal residences across the UK have started to take place, with the Princess of Wales, 41, and the Duchess of Edinburgh, 58, leading the way in beautiful blue dresses at Buckingham Palace last week. In a sleek and co-ordinated look, the two women both chose outfits they had previously worn at Royal Ascot, while Prince William, 40, and Prince Edward, 59, looked dapper in top hats and tails.
Accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the group welcomed hundreds of people invited into the grounds of the palace, including several Coronation Champions.
Back in February, OK! helped to launch the Royal Voluntary Service’s Coronation Champions Awards, which were set up by Queen Camilla to celebrate the herculean efforts of our nation’s volunteers”. An incredible 500 winners were crowned and were either invited to a royal garden party at Buckingham Palace, the Palace of Holyroodhouse or Hillsborough Castle, or to the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle to watch the likes of Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Take That perform.
