Past Event News
6th June 2026 - HM King Charles III birthday celebration.
The newly formed Palm Beaches branch members and their guests gathered at the Bocaire Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida to celebrate;
HM King Charles III birthday with a toast to the King, followed by an informative lecture on Princess Alice of Battenberg-The Forgotten Royal by Richard Rene Silvin, historian and honorary member of the Palm Beaches branch. Dame Mara New, Chairman of the Palm Beaches branch, introduced Rene Silvin to our Tea attendees, highlighting Rene’s long history of interfacing with members of Royal family while he was working in the UK and France, within the healthcare sector.
Afterwards, the gathering of 16 guests enjoyed a High Tea with lobster rolls, cucumber and cheese sandwiches, and an array of savoury treats. In addition to many delightful desserts, the Club showcased the classic Battenberg cake for our Tea service. We certainly received the “royal” treatment from the Club staff.
We gave the members a snapshot of upcoming events this year with a presentation on British ceramics collections and in early 2027 we will take a Caribbean cruise on the Ritz Carlton’s ship that has the only Forbes Five Star-rated sea experience. We will take pictures for all to enjoy!
In summary, our afternoon event was enjoyed by all, and we look forward to an amazing journey as a prominent Royal Society of St. George branch.
