Queen Camilla was all smiles today as she made a surprise appearance at a very special Christmas lunch in London.
The Queen, who is still recovering from the after-effects of her recent bout of pneumonia, attended the Royal Voluntary Service’s « Festive Spread » Christmas lunch at the Amadeus, where she spoke to lunch club volunteers, charity members and celebrity supporters to celebrate the positive impact of Royal Voluntary Service in local communities.
RVS is a charity which supports the NHS and thousands of vulnerable people in the community.
It also works in local communities, running home libraries, companionship support, home-from-hospital services and patient transport.
Camilla, who has been president of the charity since 2012 and recently became patron, stunned in a forest green skirt suit which she paired with a white blouse underneath. To accessorise, she opted for a pair of pearl earrings, a statement pearl necklace and a pair of black leather gloves.
She saw first-hand RVS’s recently launched Festive Spread campaign as she chatted to volunteers at the Christmas event.
The campaign is enabling volunteers to provide Christmas lunches to people who may be spending the festive season alone, with the charity hosting over 70 Festive Spread events across the country.
The Queen and the rest of the guests were treated to a lunch prepared with support from culinary student volunteers from West London College.
Camilla even flambéd a Christmas pudding near the end of her engagement.
King Charles’s wife had to pull out of several engagements recently after catching a chest infection over the past month.
Last week, she revealed that her chest infection was a form of pneumonia.
She has been suffering from post-viral fatigue and was urged by her doctors to take more time to recover.
The Queen told guests at a reception in London: « I am still a bit tired. It catches up a bit. »
