On what would have been her 100th birthday, Queen Elizabeth II is sorely missed. Today, April 21, the late monarch’s family honored her in different ways. King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the new Royal Collection Trust exhibit, Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style—the largest-ever exhibit of the late queen’s fashion—at the King’s Gallery, and later held a birthday party at Buckingham Palace (cake and all) for residents who also turn 100 years old today. The king also shared a tribute to his mother on social media, as did Prince William and Princess Catherine, who wrote that the royal—the longest reigning monarch in United Kingdom history—lived “inspiring generations through a lifetime of duty.”
Princess Anne, meanwhile, remembered her mother during a meaningful solo engagement, marking the official opening of The Queen Elizabeth II Garden in The Regent’s Park. The Princess Royal—looking lovely in a burnt-orange coat, red scarf, and black accessories—took a walk along the blooming flowers in the garden.

She then made a speech remembering her mother. “Gardens are important for a number of reasons, in terms of historical perspective,” she said, adding that when her mother was growing up, “the gardens were one aspect of life that changed dramatically during the war to become places where everybody grew things, and then the spaces afterwards became used for other things. This is a lovely evolution of that whole voyage of garden design.”

As a nod to Queen Elizabeth, the garden’s blacksmiths added a corgi statue into the layout, for the monarch’s beloved dogs.
