In a video clip by @theroyalwatcher2, Prince William is seen engaging joyfully with guests, accompanied by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Zara with her husband, Mike Tindall. The caption reads: "Prince William hosts a garden party at Buckingham Palace along with his cousins."
Making his first summer appearance at the palace, the Prince of Wales donned a top hat and morning suit in support of King Charles.
Comments on the TikTok clip praised William's gentle demeanor, with one noting, "Just like his mother, he'll always make her proud," referring to the late Princess Diana. Another agreed: "Big time."
Princess Diana was renowned for her charitable efforts. According to Philanthropy Roundtable, at the time of her death, she remained the official patron of several organizations, including the Royal Marsden NHS Trust, Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, the National AIDS Trust, The Leprosy Mission, the English National Ballet, and Centrepoint Soho. Her legacy of compassion is echoed in her son's dedication to philanthropy.
During the event, Prince William met with guests from various patronages, including Homewards, his homeless project, and military personnel. While chatting with members of Swim England, an organization he supports, he humorously remarked on the weather, saying it was "good weather for swimming."
Prince William's presence, alongside his cousins, symbolizes resilience and family unity during challenging times.
It's believed that 75-year-old King Charles did not attend the event, as Queen Camilla has encouraged him to slow down, given his already busy schedule of engagements.
