Duke and Duchess of Cambridge join Queen at Buckingham Palace garden party

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have joined the Queen for a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.

The palace in central London hosted 8,000 people on Tuesday evening for one of the Queen’s traditional garden events.

Kate wore a light pink double-breasted outfit by Alexander McQueen, complete off with pearl earrings once owned by Princess Diana.

She added a blush hat by Juliette Botterill, matching clutch, and a pair of nude pumps.

In keeping with the dress code for men, Prince William wore a three-piece morning suit.

He also carried a top hat and umbrella incase of a change in the sunny weather.

The Queen was in a pastel blue coat.

Yesterday, the trio visited Kate’s Back to Nature garden project at the Chelsea Flower show, where she gave the Queen a tour of her project aimed at encouraging children to play outside.

She took her children George, Charlotte and Louis to the garden and said in a video: "I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young kiddies."

Each year, the Queen invites at least 30,000 people to attend the parties.

At each garden party, around 27,000 cups of tea, 20,000 slices of cake, and 20,000 sandwiches are consumed.
