King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the RHS Chelsea Flower Show today.
The King, in his role as the Patron of the Royal Horticultural Society, and Queen were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, Princess Anne, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Richard and Princess Birgitte.
Their Majesties toured gardens and viewed this year’s astonishing floral displays at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
His Majesty opted for a mid-blue two-piece suit, paired with a light blue dress shirt and a silver tie.
Her Majesty wore a black cropped cardigan over a black-and-white patterned midi dress, with a black leather clutch.
First, members of the Royal Family visited the RHS and The King’s Foundation Curious Garden, co-created by Frances Tophill, and designed to inspire and encourage the nation’s curiosity and interest in gardening.
The collaboration between the RHS and the King’s Foundation celebrated the vital contribution plants make to the health of people, places and the planet.

The King then posed for a heartwarming photo with Sir David Beckham and Alan Titchmars, who are both ambassadors of the King's Foundation.
Sir David, dashing as ever, sported a beige textured blazer, a pale blue striped dress shirt and dark trousers, paired with a dark brown tie with small polka dots.
Mr Titchmarsh opted for a double-breasted cobalt blue suit with a crisp white dress shirt and a bold red-and-white diagonal-striped tie.
The trio played a crucial role in co-creating The RHS and The King's Foundation Curious Garden, along with Ms Tophill.
Following scrutiny, this year, the event officially revoked its ban on gnomes in a one-off decision.
Celebrities such as Mr Titchmarsh, Ms Tophill, Tom Allen, Bill Bailey, Angellica Bell, Sir Brian May, and Baroness Floella Benjamin have customised and painted their own gnomes.
The gnomes will be displayed in the RHS and King’s Foundation Curious Garden before being auctioned off to raise money for the RHS Campaign for School Gardening.
