The annual Chelsea Flower Show, hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society, is underway on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
According to Buckingham Palace, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show—which is celebrating its 100th year—has “become one of the world’s greatest showcases for horticultural excellence, attracting visitors and exhibitors from across the globe.” It’s also a staple on the royal calendar, with many members of the royal family stopping by the Chelsea Flower Show to take it in annually.
On the event’s opening day, Kate Middleton attended the show to attend the first-ever Children’s Picnic in the morning. Later on, King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Alexandra, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent all arrived to take in the flowers. Here, see all the best photos of the British royals at this year’s Royal Chelsea Flower Show.
