Royal Family at the Chelsea Flower Show

The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show at the Royal Hospital Chelsea on May 19th. Members of the Royal Family have attended the Show, held by the Royal Horticultural Society, regularly since its inception in 1913.

King Charles III, Patron of the The Royal Horticultural Society, and Queen Camilla, along with Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, visited the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Their Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses were greeted on arrival by the President of the Royal Horticultural Society, Keith Weed, before touring the gardens and viewing the displays at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, which runs from 20th to 24th May.

Established in 1913, on the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has become one of the world’s greatest showcases for horticultural excellence, attracting victors and exhibitors from across the globe.

Queen Camilla visited the RHS – Royal Horticultural Society and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden at Chelsea Flower Show.

The garden, designed with dogs in mind, features grass areas for dogs to enjoy and a large tree providing shade. The brick paths are inscribed with the names of dogs belonging to Radio 2 presenters and RHS ambassadors, as well as Monty Don’s beloved dog Ned, to reflect the special place dogs hold in the nation’s hearts and gardens.

The names of The Queen’s adopted Jack Russell Terrier, Bluebell and her new puppy, Moley will feature on the path, alongside that of her much loved dog Beth, who passed away last year. The name of The King’s dog, Snuff, is also included on the path. The Garden for Dogs will live on after RHS Chelsea, at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
