King Charles was pictured in a sweet moment as he accepted flowers from an eight-year-old girl on behalf of Queen Camilla.

During the Royal Variety Performance, the monarch smiled as he accepted a posy meant for his wife from Iris King-Taylor, eight, and Louie Cooper, ten.

These included flowers picked from the gardens of Brinsworth House, the Royal Variety Charity care home in Twickenham, south west London, which mirrored blooms carried by the Queen on her wedding day.

Camilla, 77, had been due to attend but was forced to pull out at the last minute after continuing to suffer from some lingering post-viral symptoms from a nasty chest infection.

It is understood that while she is very much on the road to recovery, these things can take time to fully clear.

Given the length and lateness of last nights engagement, she has, sources said, sensibly decided to heed medical advice not to overstretch herself.

It is understood that she will remain in London until Saturday but then travel to Sandringham for the week as planned.

Insiders insisted there was no cause for alarm, describing it as a nasty bug that apparently is going around a bit.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: Following a recent chest infection, The Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest.

With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonights Royal Variety Performance. His Majesty will attend as planned.

She is said to be feeling a little under the weather still but, generally speaking. on the mend. 

A royal source said Her Majesty was naturally disappointed to miss the evenings entertainments, and sends her sincere apologies to all those involved, but is a great believer that the show must go on.

She hopes to be back to full strength and regular public duties very soon, they added.

The Royal Variety Show - a hardy annual of the Buckingham Palace calendar - is the worlds longest running entertainment show, dating back to 1912.
