Happy horticulturists joined in on some of their own royal fun – as they stripped off for World Naked Gardening Day.
The annual event promoting “body acceptance and our relation to the natural environment” this year fell on the same day as the Coronation.
Numerous gardeners across the UK merged their festivities for King Charles III’s special day, as they shared daring photos of their escapades on the internet. The day encourages people to get outdoors and tend to their gardens while wearing absolutely no clothing. It was first observed in 2005 and has since gained popularity worldwide.
