The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with a slew of other British royals, attended the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on May 20. The appearance marks Kate's return after skipping out on the 2024 Garden Party amid hercancer treatment. The outdoor soiree, part of a series of annual garden parties held at the palace and Scotland's Palace of Holyroodhouse, allows the royal family to "speak to a broad range of people from all walks of life, all of whom have made a positive impact in their community," according to theroyal family's official website. Entry to the event is invitation-only, and invites are typically distributed via a "long established network of sponsors," per the royal family's website. Guests often include Lord-Lieutenants, as well as members from select societies and associations, government departments, the Church of England and other faith-based organizations. During the Garden Party, the royals in attendance greet guests in designated "lanes," during which each royal family member takes a different route and watches presentations from the various attendees, according to the royal family's website. Afterward, the royals make their way to the Royal Tea Tent to converse with other guests. See who else was in attendance at the Royal Garden Party.
