RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026
Published
The King as Patron of The Royal Horticultural Society, and The Queen have visited the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Their Majesties were joined by The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
The King and Queen, together with members of the Royal Family, have visited the RHS Chelsea Flower Show to tour the gardens and view this year’s special displays.
Established in 1913, on the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has become one of the world’s greatest showcases for horticultural excellence, attracting victors and exhibitors from across the globe.
On arrival, Their Majesties first visited the RHS and The King’s Foundation Curious Garden, designed to encourage the nation to discover the joy of getting curious about gardening. The collaboration between the RHS and the Foundation celebrates the vital contribution plants make to the health of people, places and the planet.
The garden aims to spark curiosity and inspire a new generation of both gardeners, who grow for health, happiness and the environment, and to encourage people into careers working with plants, the environment and rural crafts. It also celebrates the work and skills of trainees learning their crafts, from gardening to millinery and wood-work, and is a garden that evokes a sense of art and creativity.
The King and Queen then toured other Show Gardens and stalls across the grounds.
Members of the Royal Family separately toured some of the gardens and floral displays, reflecting the rich variety of the more than 400 exhibits and organisations represented at the Flower Show.
