Princess Anne Poignantly Wears a 53-Year-Old Brooch That Was a Wedding Present From This Fellow Royal

Princess Anne wore the heirloom brooch as King Charles hosted the first of three garden parties this month for community service honorees.

  • On Wednesday, King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted 8,000 guests at Buckingham Palace for the first of three garden parties this month to celebrate those who serve the community.
  • Following his recent speech to Congress during a US state visit last week, the King received praise from guests, while the Queen met representatives from SafeLives, a domestic abuse charity she patronizes.
  • Paramedic Claire Swinbourne from Northumberland was nominated by colleagues for raising awareness of assaults on emergency workers after being assaulted on Christmas Day last year. The King told her, "I didn't join the service to be assaulted, I joined the service to help people," quoting her response.
  • King Charles spoke with Barbara Keel, founder of the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary in East Sussex established in 1979, which now houses more than 600 animals. The King also greeted Vegas, a service dog trained by Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
  • Despite overcast London skies on Wednesday, Yeomen of the Guard in red and gold ceremonial dress processed through the gardens as military bands played wartime classics and jazz. A fourth garden party is scheduled for June at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
