King Charles has paid a warm tribute to the Duchess of Edinburgh after she played a starring role at this year’s Royal Windsor Flower Show.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, was joined by the Duke of Edinburgh at the official opening of the ‘Use Plant Garden’ at this prestigious event which celebrates horticulture, community gardening and environmental awareness in the heart of Windsor.
The garden, co-designed by the Duchess alongside horticulturist Alan Williams, focuses on key ecological themes including soil health and pollinator-friendly planting.
The project was not just intended as an exhibition, but also as a living example of how gardens can support biodiversity and environmental learning.
In the days leading up to the show, the Duchess was also seen working closely with volunteers on site, helping to bring the garden to life.
Buckingham Palace praised his involvement in a post shared on Instagram.
The royal family decided that once the flower show was over, many of the plants and structures would be transferred to local schools as part of a new nature studies curriculum.
