The King and Queen have been joined by the Duchess of Edinburgh and Prince Edward at a garden party in Scotland to celebrate the Scottish capital’s 900th anniversary.

However, Princess Anne was absent due to her head injury after she fell from a horse last month.

The royals arrived in the Scottish capital today to conduct engagements as part of Holyrood Week, which celebrates Scottish culture, achievements, and important individuals who have contributed to the community.

This year, the celebrations have been cut short due to the General Election, and will end on July 3.

Amidst a packed itinerary of royal engagements across the coming days, which includes a Ceremony of the Keys and a guard of honour inspection, the royals attended a traditional garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Other events “which may appear to divert attention or distract from the election campaign” have been postponed during the two-day trip.

The King changed into his third outfit of the day ahead of the garden party, previously donning a navy seat and his military uniform earlier in the day.

He looked dapper in black top hat with a matching tailcoat, paired with a beige double-breasted waistcoat. On his left lapel, there appears to be a thistle.
