I think its a fabulous thing to do too. Its definitely a pulling together of several of the issues that W&K&H are passionate about. It really would be nice for it to be an annual event.

Great idea. Perhaps this could be built into an annual event.

I agree. Or at least semi annual or something. It would be a perfect thing to have reaccuring and a great "mark" for the trio to leave as a tradition. Fits perfectly in with the annual garden parties.
 
Looks like a terrific way of introducing their charities to people who need support or who have experienced their help. Also to a wider public.

Excellent idea.

But perhaps we should see what the event is like before we expect more

My first thought is that the children's party in Canada was a small scale prototype. I could see different areas for different ages.

I think this is a wonderful idea of taking a new spin on a proven tradition of the Royal Garden Parties.

My thought was that if this turned into a continuous event, then it would mean that British Military were continuing to die in service.

But it could be repeated in the duture for other groups that risk their lives such as emergency services, including SAR or RNLI
 
It doesn't always have to be children of deceased military people. You could do kids who lost parent in the emergency services, kids who parents are deployed overseas in the military, children of special needs , hospices etc . Basically kids with something in common where they can have some fun but families can network with other families that have same problems

I believe Prince Edward is attending this reception as well. There's normally a good turn out of royals for the receptions the Queen holds so I wouldn't be surprised if there were more attending.

Prince William and Princess Kate were transported back to the colorful sights and exquisite smells of Indian cuisine when they joined Queen Elizabeth at a Buckingham Palace party to celebrate cultural ties on Monday.

The royal couple, who visited the country for a memorable tour last April, helped host the bash marking the launch of U.K.-India Year of Culture 2017.

It will be interesting to see who the CC says was in attendance - assuming that it is every updated online again - last update is still the 16th February (I have never known it to be this slack).

I know there have been official events that one or other of the York girls (and even Andrew) have attended where their presence hasn't been noted in the CC.

'Big Bang Theory' star talks 'overwhelming' meeting with Queen Elizabeth

Something tells me that Kunal Nayyar didn't have to down a few grasshoppers before being able to speak to the Queen but I can imagine that the butterflies in his stomach were pretty active at the time.

He is an amazing actor and I just love his character on Big Bang Theory and I think he expressed the difference between meeting a celebrity and the Queen quite eloquently and correctly. I'm glad he and his wife were able to be a part of the gala to mark the beginning of the UK-India Year of Culture 2017. It will be a night that the two of them will long remember as a highlight.

Former prime ministers Sir John Major, David Cameron and Mr Blair - under whose leadership the conflicts were fought - also attended, along with other senior ministers.
