Buckingham Palace delights fans with historic photos and confirmation of royal attendance
Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Catherine will take part in the annual Garter Day procession at Windsor Castle, offering a nostalgic nod to royal tradition.
The announcement, made on June 16, was accompanied by rare archival photos of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and other senior royals honouring the ceremony in previous years.
Excitement is high as Princess Catherine is expected to make a return to the event after missing it last year due to her cancer treatment. The Palace's social media page described the event as one of the "most traditional ceremonies" in the royal calendar, with participants donning "grand velvet robes, glistening insignia and plumed hats."
The Order of the Garter, founded nearly 700 years ago by King Edward III, was inspired by the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, a tradition that continues to symbolise royal chivalry today.
This marks the second major public appearance for key royal family members in recent days, following their reunion at Trooping the Colour on June 14.
