It is usually held every December, but there were no receptions in 20 due to the Covid pandemic. The late Queen was set to host the white tie gathering in March this year at Windsor Castle, but it was postponed due to Russian’s invasion of Ukraine. The event at the Palace is the first Diplomatic Corps reception of the King’s reign, and the monarch, his consort Camilla, eldest son and heir to the throne William and daughter-in-law Kate, a future queen, welcomed foreign ambassadors to the grand occasion in the royal residence’s state rooms. As many as 2000 members of the diplomatic corps are welcomed to Buckingham Palace for the reception. This is the first time King Charles and the Queen Consort have hosted the event.
