Buckingham Palace shared a delightful update about King Charles as he marked an important event since becoming monarch.
Charles, who is also the Duke of Lancaster, officially marked his first visit to the Duchy of Lancaster – the royal private estate he inherited from his mother, Queen Elizabeth, after his ascension to the throne in 2022.
During the visit on Monday, the monarch attended the Ceremony of the Keys at Lancaster Castle, where he was presented with keys of the duchy. Following that, he opened the new gardens at the Lancaster Castle to celebrate the special occasion.
The monarch’s office shared video update of the King as he formally inaugurated the beautiful community garden.
“Coronation Woodland Garden is officially open!” the statement read alongside it. “This afternoon in Lancashire, The King opened the new community garden, created with the help of local volunteers and Lancashire based garden designer Teresa Potter.”
At the Lancaster Castle, Charles also met members of a Fijian Choir, formed from the First Battalion of The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment.
The outing has been a significant one for Charles’s reign as he upheld a centuries-old tradition at the royal castle. This tradition dates back to 1851, when the keys to the Castle were presented to Queen Victoria.
There were 242 people on board, including 230 passengers and 12 crew members
