The Duchess of Edinburgh, joined by The Duke of Edinburgh, unveiled ‘The Plants with Purpose Garden’ at The Royal Windsor Flower Show this week.
🌳 Co‑designed by Her Royal Highness and Alan Williams, the garden showcases the importance of healthy soil, planting for pollinators, and encouraging people to consider more thoughtfully how food is grown.
The Duchess joined dedicated volunteers to help build the garden in the days before the show.
🌻This summer, the plants and garden features will be repurposed for local schools participating in a new RWHS Nature Studies Programme, extending the garden’s impact into outdoor learning.

For the first time in history, The King, as Sovereign and Captain General of the @RoyalMarines, has presented new Colours to 40, 42, 43 and 45 Commando Royal Marines at Windsor Castle.
It is the first time that four Commando units have received new Colours concurrently.
Addressing troops on parade and their guests, His Majesty said:
“It is now twenty-five years since my father, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, presented new Colours to the Royal Marines, and so it gives me immense pride and pleasure to be able to do so once again today.”
An insightful visit to Faslane, spending time with service personnel, touring a Vanguard-class submarine and meeting with their LGBTQ+ Network.
Thank you to everyone who serves in the Submarine Service - and to their families for their unwavering support 🫡

The Princess Royal has officially launched Challenger 5, the newest addition to the @TallShipsYT fleet! ⚓️

⛵️During a visit to Portsmouth, HRH met staff, volunteers, and young people involved with Tall Ships Youth Trust, a youth development and outdoor learning charity, and toured the new vessel before it sets sail on its first adventures.
Thank you for a wonderful visit to Portugal! 🇵🇹

I was so saddened to hear of the tragic loss of three service personnel from the Fleet Air Arm following a helicopter training exercise last night. William and I hold their families and friends in our hearts at this very difficult time. C
Thank you to everyone at The Christie for such a moving visit today.
Meeting patients, families and staff was a powerful reminder that healing is about so much more than treatment alone. A cancer diagnosis affects every part of life, in mind, body and the deeper part of ourselves. The way we process fear, uncertainty and change is deeply personal.
The Christie’s commitment to holistic care, from art therapy and wellbeing spaces to emotional and spiritual support, helps people navigate not only illness, but the profound impact it can have on quality of life. These services empower patients to play an active role in their recovery and wellbeing, reminding us that care should always be centred on the whole person.
Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for the compassion, creativity and dedication shown every day across the hospital.

"As Captain General of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, it gives me the greatest pride on this most significant day to witness the formation of your new regiment — The King's Gurkha Artillery. Ajur din ramro cha! [Today is a good day!]"
Hold onto your hats! 👒
It was a blustery morning at the Founder’s Day Parade in the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea, where The Queen reviewed troops on parade and delivered an address.
🫡 The Royal Hospital Chelsea is home to the Chelsea Pensioners, retired soldiers of the British Army. Since 1692, it has offered care, community and comradeship to veterans.

Our very special guests! 🧁☕️
The Queen has hosted a tea party for children supported by Dreams and Wishes, a charity dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families build precious memories.
🫖🥪 After travelling by horse-drawn carriage from The Royal Mews, the children sat down to sandwiches and cakes with Her Majesty at Clarence House.
The Queen’s Equerry, Major Treasure, also set the children to task with a treasure hunt… leading to the stash of chocolate coins hidden under the Grenadier Guards’ hats! 💂
Dreams and Wishes was established in 2011 and is entirely volunteer-run, with a dedicated team committed to making every child’s wish a reality.
