On June 3, 2026, Queen Camilla opened Clarence House to seriously ill children for an enchanting afternoon of horse-drawn carriages, tea and a prince-and-princess treasure hunt. Read on to discover the full story!
The youngsters traveled from the Royal Mews down The Mall in a horse-drawn carriage and were met by Grenadier Guards in bearskin hats. Inside, a buffet featured sweet treats including cookies iced with each child’s name.
Seven-year-old Rupert proudly brought his Chief Scout’s Commendation and the Queen pinned the medal on him. Camilla held hands with six-year-old Maria, who led the treasure hunt in a purple princess dress, and gave each child a hug and a kiss as the event ended.
