King Charles III has made a major change to royal banquets held at his royal residences – moving away from his mother the late Queen Elizabeth II's traditions
November 23, 2022 - 14:22 GMT Rachel Avery King Charles III hosted a state banquet on Tuesday when the President of South Africa was in town, but there was one major difference to dinners hosted by his late mother Queen Elizabeth II in the past.
The table was lined with hundreds of glass vases with an array of buds taken from royal gardens. The blooms of choice included cyclamen, nerines, rosehips, anemones, amaryllis, chrysanthemum blooms and hydrangea.There was also trailing green ivy and flowering viburnum adding to the unique display.Earlier in the week, Charles added 40 new additions to his Sandringham home in the form of new trees in the garden.
Charles took over the management of the grounds of Sandringham back in 2017 when his mother was still alive, and ever since he has worked tirelessly with grand plans of turning the estate fully organic.The jury is still out on when exactly when and if Charles will relocate to Buckingham Palace, as it is currently undergoing extensive renovation works to bring its infrastructure up to date.
