King Charles has paid warm tribute to the Duchess of Edinburgh after she played a leading 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 Purpose Driven Plant Garden” at the 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 intended to be just an exhibition, but 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 participation in a post shared on Instagram.
The royal family decided that once the flower show concludes, many of the plants and structures will be moved to local schools as part of a new Nature Studies Programme.
