Dog becomes star of King Charles' Buckingham Palace garden party

King Charles and Queen Camilla on Wednesday hosted their first garden party of the summer season. 

Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were present at the Buckingham Palace party attended by thousands of people.

"In my eyes there was one star of the show: Vegas (a hearing dog) who jumped up at three royals - Their Majesties and the Princess Royal - and then started to dig up the grass. Everyone loved it, wrote  veteran royal journalist Rebecca English while sharing a video of the party.

According to the royal family's official website, over the course of each year, over 30,000 guests are invited to spend a relaxed summer afternoon in the beautiful gardens of Buckingham Palace or the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

"Garden Parties are an important way for members of the Royal Family to speak to a broad range of people from all walks of life, all of whom have made a positive impact in their community."

The website says, "In summer, the Sovereign traditionally hosts three Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace, and one at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland. Historically, Garden Parties took the place of presentation parties attended by debutantes, and have evolved into a way of recognising and rewarding public service. "
