King Charles III was joined by a star-studded guest list at the Chelsea Flower Show, but the animal-lover was again distracted by an adorable dog.
The monarch, serving as patron of the Royal Horticultural Society, was joined by Queen Camilla and several senior members of the family this afternoon.
Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh joined for the occasion, alongside Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
Their first port of call was the RHS and King’s Foundation Curious Garden, a collaborative display co-created by the King himself, along with Frances Tophill, Sir David Beckham and Alan Titchmarsh.
The Curious Garden showcases an elegant oak structure designed to evoke a museum of curiosities.
Seven raised planting beds pay tribute to Sir David’s famous number seven shirt – a thoughtful nod to the football legend’s involvement in the project.
Delphiniums, known to be among His Majesty’s most cherished blooms, also feature prominently throughout the display.

The King enjoyed a warm reunion with Sir David and Mr Titchmarsh at the garden they helped create together.
The star-studded trio, all King’s Foundation ambassadors, greeted one another like old friends as they toured the display.
Sir David said: “I want to help encourage a new generation to appreciate the benefits of nature and get involved in gardening.
“It’s been fun to be a part of creating the Curious Garden, and I’m excited for people to see it at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.”
Among the other A-list celebrities attending this afternoon’s show was film superstar Dame Judi Dench.
