It was the first garden party of the new King’s reign — and the only one before his coronation In a week when Buckingham Palace played a pivotal part in a historic occasion, the royal residence hosted a very special garden party ahead of the coronation. Not only did it mark the first of the new monarch’s reign, but it was also the only garden party to take place before King Charles and Queen Camilla were formally crowned, as almost 8,000 guests, including music legend Lionel Richie, converged on the immaculately manicured grounds to celebrate. Before heading into the crowds to meet guests, many of whom were charity workers and diplomats, the royal couple stood on the steps of the palace as the national anthem played. Camilla looked typically elegant…

‘With Camilla by his side, Charles is a happier person, which is good for him, the country and the Commonwealth’Dickie Arbiter The King and Queen have been crowned in a spectacular coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey, uniting their subjects in a joyful occasion that delighted the world. A royal powerhouse in public and perfect partners in private, the couple possess the ideal characteristics to carry both the monarchy and the nation smoothly into a new royal era. The dynamic duo, who have known each other for over five decades and recently celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary, share a harmonious relationship that will be the bedrock of the King’s reign. “They’re just the right fit,” Dickie Arbiter, the late Queen’s former press secretary and author of On Duty with the Queen,…

From the Isle of Skye to the coast of Cornwall, from the mountains in Snowdonia to Tobermore in Northern Ireland, more than 120 varieties of flowers from farms, cutting gardens and allotments from across the country adorned Westminster Abbey on the day of the coronation. There were tulips and bluebells, ranunculus and azaleas, rhododendrons, primroses and honeysuckle in rich golds, burgundies, purples, pinks and reds, reflecting the colour palette of the High Altar and the Cosmati Pavement as well as Their Majesties’ Robes of State and Estate. To reflect the King and Queen’s personalities, florist Shane Connolly (right), who also worked on their wedding in 2005, chose their favourite flowers – hellebores for Charles, lily of the valley and auriculus for Camilla – which also represented their shared passion for…

Personnel of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth armed forces who took part in the parade formed ranks After returning to Buckingham Palace the newly crowned King and Queen appeared on the garden’s West Terrace to receive a rousing royal salute. In their ceremonial Robes of Estate, and with His Majesty wearing the Imperial State Crown with Her Majesty in the Queen Mary Crown beside him, the royal couple were all smiles as personnel of United Kingdom and Commonwealth armed forces who took part in the parade formed ranks, representing 18 different regiments in front of them. To the skirl of bagpipes and beat of drums, the troops proudly stood to attention. Garrison Sergeant Major, Warrant Officer (Class 1) Vern Stokes, who helped devise the procession, ordered the troops to remove…

Highgrove’s weeping silver lime trees flower for two weeks of the year, filling the house and gardens with a sweet, heady fragrance. “Everybody there, including the King, looks forward it,” Julie Pluchet, senior perfumer with British luxury brand Penhaligon’s, tells HELLO!. The trees’ shimmering foliage and richly scented yellow flowers form part of the estate’s lush living fabric and it’s said that during those balmy two weeks, Highgrove’s rooms are filled with the smell of “earthly sunshine”. Now this midsummer blossoming at His Majesty’s much-loved family home in Gloucestershire (above, the then Prince of Wales there in 1986) has been captured in a perfume – sustainably crafted, of course, and with the royal seal of approval. Royal warrant holder Penhaligon’s worked closely with the King to create Highgrove Bouquet eau…

CROWNING GLORY Who better to cook up a right royal celebration for the coronation than a former chef in the royal household? Carolyn Robb was personal chef to Charles – and Princes William and Harry – for over a decade when he was the Prince of Wales CURRIED CHICKEN WITH FRESH MANGO & TOASTED CASHEWS Serves 4 Takes 35-40 minutes “This is my interpretation of coronation chicken, a dish that was created for the Queen’s coronation celebrations in June 1953. When I make this, it always brings back fond memories of the many buffet lunches that I prepared aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia. It was a favourite when we had a large number of guests to feed, particularly in a hot climate.” INGREDIENTS For the sauce • 3 tbsp curry…

The happy couple had sealed their love in a civil ceremony in Luxembourg the week before Surrounded by sunshine and scented flowers in one of the most picturesque medieval villages on the Côte d’Azur, Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg said “I do” again to her handsome husband, French businessman Nicolas Bagory, in a religious ceremony witnessed by family and friends. The happy couple – who had sealed their love in a civil ceremony at the city hall in Luxembourg City only the week before – exchanged vows for the second time in the 18th-century church of Saint-Trophyme in Bormes-les-Mimosas, where the bride’s family have a summer home. This charming South of France village is also where the Princess of Wales’s brother, James Middleton, married his French wife, Alizée Thevenet, in 2021…

The Prince and Princess of Wales got into the coronation spirit as they dropped into a London pub for a pint – after travelling on the new Elizabeth Line. Prince William and Kate sipped cider in the Dog and Duck in Soho before posing for selfies with locals and tourists who had gathered outside to catch a glimpse of the pair during their surprise visit. “We’ve got a very international crowd here,” William said as they met fans during a 20-minute walkabout. “Enjoy the weekend.” They met pub staff and local business owners who were looking forward to welcoming revellers over the bank holiday weekend. A temporary change to licensing laws meant that pubs were permitted to stay open two hours beyond their usual closing time, up until 1am, on…

The day before the coronation, the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales thrilled royal fans when they stepped out for an impromptu walkabout on The Mall in London. As Prince William and Kate warmly greeted the crowds – who had camped out for days to secure their place on the procession route to Westminster Abbey – the King shook hands with delighted well-wishers to rousing cries of “hip, hip, hooray!” and “God save the King”. The monarch smiled as people, amid a sea of Union flags, wished him luck – while one held a banner featuring a picture of the late Queen and the words: “Mummy would be proud.” There were cheers for William and Kate, too, as they posed for selfies with fans. Looking picture-perfect in a…

Attributing much of her success to her mother’s mentorship, Annoushka Ducas, who founded and sold jewellery brand Links of London before starting eponymous brand Annoushka, is determined to pay it forward. “Throughout my career I’ve always supported young women, whether that’s mentoring or micro-finance projects,” the designer tells HELLO!. “Everyone’s got a talent, everyone’s good at something. They just need to be able to discover it.” In 2020, as part of her role as a patron of the Prince’s Trust’s Women Supporting Women initiative, Annoushka created The Brilliant Breakfast, an annual fundraiser to help disadvantaged girls and young women with education or employment. It encourages people to organise a breakfast for friends, family, colleagues or clients to raise money and awareness. As well as bringing people together and strengthening networks,…

After collaborating for two decades, West End superstar Kerry Ellis and Queen icon Sir Brian May have built quite the friendship – so much so that Kerry’s two young sons have come to know the legendary rocker simply as “Uncle Brian”. “They’ve grown up with him,” says Kerry, who met the Queen guitarist in 2001, years before becoming mum to Alfie, nine, and Freddie, seven, the children she shares with husband James Townsend. “If they hear a song on the radio, they’ll say: ‘Oh, that’s Uncle Brian,’ but I don’t think they quite realise the magnitude of who he is yet. At some point, they’ll be like: ‘Oh my God, I used to go on a tour bus with that guy.’” ‘I have had brilliant interactions with the royals over…

The Princess Royal has been appointed to a new role, it was confirmed by Buckingham Palace last week. Princess Anne has been made the Senior Colonel of the Household Division by the King; a role she was given by her brother when he became Colonel-in-Chief of the Household Division’s regiments after the Queen died. The news was revealed after Anne visited Wellington Barracks in central London last Wednesday, when she chatted to officers and senior non-commissioned officers of the division who were due to take part in the coronation, escorting the King to and from Westminster Abbey during the processions. She also thanked members of the military who had worked through the night to carry out a full rehearsal in the streets of London ahead of Saturday’s ceremony. News of…

The King welcomed royals and dignitaries from around the world to Buckingham Palace for a glittering reception the night before his coronation. Joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, His Majesty mingled with guests in the ornate state rooms, hours before they would all gather inside Westminster Abbey again for the ceremony. Seemingly undaunted by what lay ahead the next day, the King looked happy and relaxed as he chatted and laughed with fellow royals, including Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco, Spain’s King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, and Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. FIRST LADIES Kate, who had earlier joined a royal walkabout outside the palace and accompanied her…

‘Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the three of us to the Met Gala’Serena Williams It is the world’s most fashionable event, with stars dressing in haute couture to strike a pose on the red carpet. And this year, as A-listers including Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Kidman arrived at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala, there was one very popular accessory: a baby bump. Former tennis champion Serena Williams chose the annual event to reveal that she and husband Alexis Ohanian will be welcoming a second child this year. Dressed in a simple black-and-white Gucci gown with rows of pearls, Serena proudly displayed her growing figure to the rows of photographers. The couple, who are already parents to five-year-old Olympia, later confirmed their…
