After much speculation over whether he would turn up at this year\u2019s RHS Chelsea Flower Show<\/a>, King Charles III did indeed arrive for a tour around the show ground.<\/p>\n

There are lots of royal celebrations at the Show this year, including\u00a0royal tributes<\/a> celebrating the life of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of HM King Charles III.<\/p>\n

The Queen<\/a> loved Chelsea Flower Show and visited 50 times over the course of her 70 year reign. This year King Charles visited to award three medals: the Elizabeth Medal of Honour<\/a> to designer Piet Oudolf,<\/a> Baroness Janet Fookes DBE and environmental champion Judy Ling Wong CBE. They were the first recipients of the honour. He even got a hug from one of the designers.<\/p>\n
