Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin the Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess of Gloucester, who are both working members of the royal family, attended the garden party on May 21.

William held an umbrella as he greeted and chatted with guests.

“A pleasure meeting so many wonderful people from across the UK at today’s garden party 🌺 ☔️,” the Waleses’ Instagram account captioned a video from the event.

Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne, was among William’s first cousins invited to the event.

Peter’s sister Zara Tindall exuded elegance in a Laura Green dress (via Royal Fashion Police) teamed with a pink boater hat and suede pumps.

Zara prevented her suede pumps from sinking into the wet grass with clear heel stoppers.

Mike Tindall coordinated with his wife Zara sporting a pink printed tie.

Prince Andrew’s two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, were also at the party.

Beatrice looked beautiful in a Beulah London dress.

Meanwhile her younger sister Princess Eugenie wore a Ulla Johnson dress.

At the party, the heir to the throne joked (via The Standard ) that it was “good weather for swimming.“
