The monarch playfully swatted a fly, causing the Queen to burst into laughter when she received a large knitted radish during one of their final appearances before the summer recess.
The royal couple attended the Sandringham Flower Show, a long-standing event on the royal estate in Norfolk now organized by the Royal Horticultural Society, of which the King is a patron. They collaborated on the creation of an ‘RHS Legacy Garden’ using local materials to honor the King’s passion for horticulture and support rural skills and biodiversity.
Amid cheers from the crowd, Their Majesties arrived at the main house in a horse-drawn carriage, greeted by the national anthem before engaging with the public and touring the show with RHS officials.
The King, visibly pleased, met with garden collaborator Catherine Macdonald to inspect the county-themed garden. Throughout the visit, the couple warmly interacted with enthusiastic well-wishers and garden enthusiasts along the route.
Camilla, elegantly dressed in a green Lexy London dress, engaged with attendees and received a thoughtful gift of insect repellents. The sovereign presented awards, including ‘The Kings Biodiversity Award’ and ‘The Queen’s Choice of Upcycled Containers Award’, to deserving recipients.
The King and Queen also took time to interact with school children and admired various exhibits, with the Queen showing particular interest in a knitted radish and reminiscing about her Pony Club days in Sussex.
Before departing for Scotland, the royal couple has one more official engagement. The RHS Sandringham Flower Show, the first of its kind at a Royal residence, showcases expert growers, nurseries, and community initiatives, in line with other RHS Shows.
