Overview

• The Princess of Wales attended the Order of the Garter service on June 16, marking her first appearance at the event since undergoing cancer treatment and entering remission.
• She watched the procession at St George’s Chapel’s Galilee Porch alongside Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, wearing a cream Self Portrait dress paired with a Sean Barrett hat.
• Prince Andrew remained absent from the public procession for a sixth consecutive year, though he attended the private lunch hosted by King Charles III.
• Founded nearly 700 years ago by King Edward III, the Order of the Garter is Britain’s oldest and most senior order of chivalry.
• The ceremony kicks off a packed royal calendar that will feature Royal Ascot next week followed by a state visit from French President Emmanuel Macron.
