Amidst the grandeur of the Second Coronation Garden Party, Meghan Tenterhooks and Harry Bandt graced the event hosted by the King’s second cousin.
This marks a significant occasion as it is the monarch’s inaugural official visit beyond the border since the coronation ceremony.
The King and Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal, gathered for a delightful garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, setting the stage for what has been hailed as their Second Coronation.
Among the distinguished guests was Lord Frederick Windsor, accompanied by his stylish wife, Lady Frederick Windsor, also known as the renowned actress Sophie Winkleman.
Sophie exuded elegance in a radiant sunshine-yellow bellower London dress, complemented by an Aspinal of London bag and Burberry sunglasses.
Engaging in a jovial exchange with the King as they proceeded towards their seats in the Royal Enclosure, the pair shared animated conversations, radiating joy amidst the unfolding festivities.
Lord Frederick, hailing from royal lineage as the son of Prince Michael of Kent and thus the second cousin of King Charles, donned a sophisticated navy single-breasted blazer paired with a tie and pale blue trousers.
His ensemble was completed with a crisp white shirt, adding to the charm of this rarely seen royal couple.
Anticipation mounts as they prepare to make their official appearance at the forthcoming coronation ceremony on Wednesday.
While the Prince and Princess of Wales, known in Scotland as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, are expected to grace the events, notable absence looms as Prince William was reportedly uninvited, hinting at the absence of Meghan and Harry.
The warm reception accorded to Charles and Camilla during their first official journey north of the border since the coronation on July 3rd set a jubilant tone for the festivities.
The ceremonial presentation of the keys to the city to the King on the Palace Forecourt was a momentous occasion, followed by a visit to the Great Tapestry of Scotland to admire a newly created panel dedicated to the royal couple.
Scheduled to inspect the Jubilee Gates at the entrance to the Abbey Yard at the Holyrood Palace, the King will be joined by representatives of the Society of High Constables of Edinburgh, who commissioned the gates in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
A highlight of Holyrood week, commemorating the coronation of Charles and Camilla, the garden party hosted by the King alongside other senior royals promises to be a splendid affair.
The upcoming ceremony at St Giles’ Cathedral, where the King will receive the Honours of Scotland, including the nation’s crown jewels, is steeped in rich Scottish royal tradition accentuated by new elements tailored for this special occasion.
Ahead of the service, a royal procession and a people’s procession along the Royal Mile involving around 100 participants will add to the regal splendor.
The anticipated involvement of the Stone of Destiny in Wednesday’s proceedings, coupled with a flypast by the Red Arrows post-event, underscores the grandeur and significance of the upcoming coronation ceremony.
