Among the sea of signs and well-wishers, a particularly poignant moment unfolded as Queen Camilla approached a group of young girls, their hands clasping signs that bore messages of love and support for Princess Catherine, who has been battling cancer. Among them was a young girl, her sign simple yet powerful, reading, “Send our love to Kate.” This touching display led to Queen Camilla speaking directly to the girls.

The Queen Consort, embodying grace and compassion, engaged with the group, ensuring that their heartfelt messages would reach Princess Catherine. Queen Camilla remarked that Princess Catherine would be “thrilled” with the signs, a statement that not only acknowledged their efforts but also bridged the gap between the royal family and the public. Taking the signs from the group, she promised to deliver them to Princess Catherine. The girls were sisters Lois, six, and Harriet, ten.

The promise to transport their letters “carefully” for the Princess was made amidst apologies from Harriet about the cards’ slightly creased condition, a result of the day’s blustery wind. “I’ll take them carefully and will make sure she knows they’re coming,” the Queen responded, her voice carrying the weight of assurance and comfort.
