Buckingham Palace has shared details of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to Chelsea Flower Show 2025, also attended by David Beckham.
Sharing the details of the visit, the palace said, “The King, as Patron of The Royal Horticultural Society, and The Queen, along with The Duke of Edinburgh and The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, have visited the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.”
It further said the monarch and queen, accompanied by Members of the Royal Family, 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. Since its beginning, the show has gone from strength to strength.
It has grown from 244 exhibitors in 1913 to over 400 horticultural exhibits. Today the show attracts 145,000 visitors each year.
Together, King Charles and Queen Camilla visited The RHS and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden, designed by Monty Don. 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, also 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 King and Queen ended their tours of the Show at the Bees for Development balcony garden, designed by Jenny Rafferty.
