The Windrush Garden at the British High Commissioner’s Residence on Trafalgar Road was the perfect backdrop last Tuesday as dignitaries, officials, and guests gathered to celebrate King Charles III’s birthday. Although the King’s actual birthday is in November, it’s tradition to mark the occasion with summer festivities, including the annual Trooping the Colour parade in the United Kingdom. Guests mingled in garden-party style, raising toasts to partnerships and reconnecting with new and familiar faces. Something Extra captured the social highlights.
