Queen Presents Award to Primary School for Bee Display During Flower Show Visit
The award recognized a bee-themed display made from upcycled containers and tin can bees at the first RHS show hosted at a royal residence.
On Wednesday, King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived by horse-drawn carriage at the inaugural Royal Horticultural Society Sandringham Flower Show, held on the Sandringham Estate for the first time.
The Sandringham Estate has agreed that the RHS can host a horticultural show once every three years, replacing the traditional volunteer-run event that dates back to 1881.
Queen Camilla presented Her Majesty The Queen's Special Award for Upcycled Container Gardens to Ingoldisthorpe Church of England Primary School, calling the students' 'The Queen Bee' display 'absolutely charming.'
Touring the RHS Royal Legacy Garden designed by garden designer Catherine MacDonald, the King described the displays as 'fantastic' while greeting members of the public.
The five-day event runs until Sunday, following initial backlash from local businesses regarding pricing, with future shows scheduled for the Sandringham Estate in 2027 and 2028.
King Charles III is all clawed out when it comes to preserving biodiversity. That's why he doesn't hesitate to perpetuate a decades-old rule on his private estate in Sandringham.
