The event has always been a beloved occasion among senior royals. Charles' mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, never missed a year, and since she died in 2022, her adoring family members have attended in her honour.

Sophie wore an elegant patterned Hermes scarf wrapped around her sleek ponytail. She and the late Queen had an exceptionally close bond therefore it comes as no surprise that she would honour her in this way.

As the King prepared for the day's events, he passed the Duchess of Edinburgh while taking his seat. The duo, who have a close relationship, shared a small conversation upon meeting.
