A lot of hard work goes into hosting the special event
The Queen hosted a luncheon at the castle on Monday June 18, 2019 - 09:51 BST Chloe Best It is one of the most important dates in the royal calendar, so it's no surprise that the Queen would want to ensure that everything ran smoothly at the Order of the Garter ceremony on Monday. That included making sure Windsor Castle was pristine ahead of hosting a special luncheon for prestigious guests including Knights of the Garter King Willem-Alexander and King Felipe.
A time-lapse video shared by Royal Collection Trust on Twitter gives an incredible behind-the-scenes look at the preparations that started in the castle 24 hours before the luncheon took place, with the huge Waterloo table put into position after undergoing a "comprehensive French polish"."Over the past year the huge Waterloo table has undergone a comprehensive French polish, giving it the incredible sheen that you see today," the tweet read.

Camilla played the perfect hostess during the procession as she made sure that both Queen Letizia and Queen Maxima – who were attending the event for the first time - together with the Duchess of Cambridge and Countess of Wessex, positioned themselves correctly as the procession passed in front of them.
