The Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Sussex, listen as the Duke of Sussex speaks during a garden party at Buckingham Palace in London, which the newlyweds are attending as their first royal engagement as a married couple.

Yet the country should not lose sight of the fact that the newlyweds were, in fact, at a special Buckingham Palace garden party to honour the achievements of the Prince of Wales ahead of his 70th birthday later this year.

Though Prince Charles is now invariably upstaged by his two sons, the unique style of their service is still shaped by their father’s example when it comes to supporting countless charities while also using his influence to highlight some contentious causes, like the environment, that were previously considered to be unconventional. As such, the country owes a great debt of gratitude to His Royal Highness who has quietly ensured, despite his fuddy-duddy tendencies, that the Royal family is even more relevant to contemporary society.
