On Tuesday, May 21, the Crown Prince hosted his first garden party of the season at the Royal Palace. A reception marked by the absence of his wife, the Princess of Wales, and rain that caused the umbrellas to open.
Neither King Charles III nor Kate Middleton, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, was present at the event. Prince William thus single-handedly threw his first garden party of the season in his father’s name. An event held at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, May 21. On that occasion, however, the hatted crown prince was able to count on the support of his cousins. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were there, as was Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s daughter, and her husband Mike. Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, the Duke of Gloucester, was also present at the reception with his wife.
Prince Harry’s absence
Several thousand guests gathered in the palace gardens under a sea of umbrellas. All were invited based on their service to the community. Among the participants were people who work for associations supported by Wales, such as Homewards, which tackles homelessness issues, or Swim England, which works to teach swimming.

Still others are among the lessees of properties in the Duchy of Cornwall. Three weeks ago, King Charles III hosted his own garden party. Prince Harry, who was in England at the time, did not attend the reception. At the time, he was going to a service organized in St. Paul’s Cathedral in honor of 10e The anniversary of the Invictus Games.
