Oh, those sweet ol' British summer traditions, ain't they? The garden parties at Buckingham Palace are as classic as the horse races in Ascot or the tennis matches in Wimbledon. This year, His Majesty King Charles is tossing two garden soirees—one on the 7th of May, and the other on the 20th. Fingers crossed for some decent weather, but rain or snow, the party must go on, just like Queen Victoria's time!
Hobnobbin' with the Royals
Queen Liz kept the tradition alive, smilin' in her pastel outfits and shakin' a million hands on the lawn. Each party invites a whopping 4,000 guests—a fantastic opportunity for the Windsors to rub shoulders with the people. You'll find Lords and Ladies, Lieutenants and Diplomats, but mostly everyday Joes and Janes who've just hit their 50th wedding anniversary or saved a cat from a tree or something heroic like that. Admission is at 3 PM, sharp—and at 4 PM, the royal family swoops in for the main event!
