The Princess of York said: “Come rain or shine, I was delighted to support my family yesterday to meet some special individuals at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party who have gone above and beyond to support their local communities and the country.”

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have remained close to Prince Harry over the last few years.
