Sarah Ferguson celebrated King Charles III’s coronation Saturday by hosting a traditional high tea for the elderly after being snubbed from the ceremony.
“I hope you have got the bunting out ready for the Coronation tomorrow. I certainly have,” Ferguson wrote in a post on Instagram Friday along with several photos from the festive tea party, where the late Queen Elizabeth II’s corgis made an appearance.
She continued, “Today I assembled a tea fit for a King which I shared with the residents at the Manor Care Home in Windsor to help them celebrate. Enjoy the weekend!”
The Duchess of York’s tribute at the nursing home included a honey sponge cake dubbed “Charles’ Crunchy Cream Cake,” a variation of teas honoring Queen Camilla, crown-shaped scones and marmalade sandwiches.
Photos of the spread show one of the late Queen’s corgis panting joyfully at the table, which was covered in a red and white gingham tablecloth and fine china.
“It’s so exciting! I hope everyone’s getting ready for Saturday,” Ferguson said in a video highlighting the menu items of the tea.
Ferguson and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, famously took in the late monarch’s two corgis, Muick and Sandy, after the Queen died at the age of 96 last September.
Several of Ferguson’s Instagram followers commended her for honoring Charles despite the invitation snub.
“That’s truly selfless and dignified!! I personally think you should be there but I hope you have a wonderful day x
