Prism Arts at the Palace!
Catherine and Vinny had an incredible experience yesterday after being invited to Buckingham Palace! Vinny's gives a full run down of the day for those who are curious what a Royal Garden Party is like....
"Catherine and I had a lovely day in sunny London, feeling like guests of honour initially crossing a guests only crossing to the palace.
As we queued to get into the gardens, the whole of the square in front of the palace was blocked off making the enormous fountains entirely empty without any tourists, which I had never seen before.
On the way in we were escorted by guards through the enormous front gates then off to the side, into the gardens.
The gardens were beautiful are far bigger than you might imagine, it felt like Bitts park with a sprinkle of royalty. When we first got into the gardens, everyone was crowding around the rear entrance of the palace for Catherine and I seized the opportunity to explore the gardens further.
We found an island populated by geese, ducks and their chicks, the biggest vase you’ve ever seen and an extensive collection of sweet smelling flowers.
The walk around the gardens took roughly half an hour, stopping to look at the rose gardens and celebrity spot. Catherine spotted two actors of note, whereas I merely spotted Bradley Walsh in a fetching light cyan suit.
Our tea was served with a classic cucumber sandwich, chocolate eclairs, mini cheesecakes and savoury bits. I’m pretty sure the tea blend was Yorkshire Tea Gold.
We did catch a glimpse of the king, though he must have been held up by conversations of his new portrait and handshakes as a 100 yard walk from the palace to his royal tent took well over an hour.
There must have been at least two thousand people in the gardens, it looked like a music festival blended with a posh wedding, which was reinforced when the orchestra started playing a mashup of ABBA hits—I think Camilla must have a soft spot for Björn."
