Prince William paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Kate Middleton, as he hosted a lavish garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
The Prince of Wales, in high spirits, teamed up with royal cousins to celebrate the first garden party of the year, a joyous occasion that also marked a nod to Kate’s ongoing work and her current health battle.
William, dashing in a morning suit and top hat, stepped in to host the event on behalf of his father, King Charles.
His smile and welcoming demeanor set a warm tone for the festivities, despite the absence of Kate, who continues to stay out of the public eye as she undergoes cancer treatment.
To help with hosting duties, William invited his royal cousins, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, and Mike Tindall, creating a united front that highlighted the next generation of the royal family.
Their presence underscored the family’s solidarity and support for Kate.
In a subtle tribute to Kate, Beatrice, Eugenie, and Zara coordinated their outfits in pink and white.
The future Queen, known for her love of flowers, was symbolically represented by the floral-inspired color scheme at the star-studded event.
Beatrice, 35, embraced the spring theme in a bold pink dress with long sleeves and a white hat, while her younger sister Eugenie wore a white dress paired with a pale pink headpiece.
Zara Tindall, 43, joined in the celebration with a white dress featuring pink buttons, accessorizing with a pink hat and heels.
Despite the rainy weather, the women carried matching black umbrellas, adding a touch of elegance to their ensembles.
The men, including William, also put on a stylish display, their smiles reflecting the joy of the occasion.
This event followed an update from Kate, who shared her progress in keeping up with her work behind the scenes amid her health challenges.

A senior royal aide confirmed Kate’s continued involvement: “The Princess of Wales was the driving force behind the business task force.
She has been kept up to date since the inception of the task force and has read the report and been briefed on it.”
Kate will only resume her public duties once she receives the “green light from doctors,” the aide added, ensuring that her health and well-being remain the top priority.
The garden party at Buckingham Palace was not just a celebration but also a testament to the strength and unity of the royal family as they support Kate through her recovery.
