King Charles and Queen Camilla recently attended the Sandringham Flower Show at the monarch’s private Sandringham estate. However, this year, it was particularly significant because it was hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) for the first time. The royal couple’s outing comes following their private reunion with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and their children, Archie and Lilibet.

The King and Queen hosted a new RHS gardening event at the Royal estate

This year, the Royal Horticultural Society took on the responsibility of hosting the Sandringham Flower Show for the first time. The exhibition that has taken place since 1881 witnessed the presence of King Charles and Queen Camilla, who arrived in a horse-drawn carriage from Sandringham House. 

Before heading to tour the RHS Royal Legacy Garden, the monarchs greeted the crowd and the onlookers. The king then looked at the garden he helped build alongside Catherine MacDonald, calling its final result “fantastic.”

Previously, MacDonald shared what they look forward to together by designing the garden. She said, “We want to encourage people to make choices in their own gardens that work with nature, recognising the role we all play in supporting wildlife and promoting tree and plant diversity for now and the future.”

Charles was particularly delighted to see one specific exhibit, which used a sink and upcycled toilet to grow flowers. At the time, a well-wisher complimented that the king looked good for his age. He then responded, “It gets much harder, doesn’t it?”

Additionally, he asked the children if they ate vegetables grown inside the garden while personally believing that spinach is the “best thing in the world.” Meanwhile, Camilla also stepped in to present her special award to students from Ingoldisthorpe Church of England Primary School, who created a bee-themed display.

It was announced that RHS will host the flower exhibition every three years, with the next one now scheduled for 2029. Other times, the Sandringham Estate Cottage Horticultural Society (SECHS) Trust will continue hosting the event every year as it always has (via PEOPLE).
