Prince William & Duchess Kate Delivered An Important Nationwide Radio Broadcast Today
The royal family marked the special virtual edition of the Chelsea Flower Show 2020 by sharing floral memories and their garden favourites.
The annual event is known as a favourite of the Queen, who is the patron of the Royal Horticultural Society. As part of the virtual event, Her Majesty named her favourite flower and revisited highlights of her years at the show.
"My family and I have always enjoyed visiting the Show, and I know that your Members and Supporters will be disappointed that they are unable to attend in person this year," a statement provided by the Queen began.
"I am sure that my grandmother, Queen Mary, who first attended the Chelsea Flower Show in 1916, would be delighted that many people today have an enthusiasm for horticulture, and that gardening remains a popular pastime in the United Kingdom."
