Queen views Green Man Humpty Dumpty Egg

Camilla admires ‘lovely’ Easter egg in first outing since Charles’s hospitalisation

Queen Camilla has admired a giant decorated egg installed outside Buckingham Palace as part of a city-wide Easter egg hunt for charity.

The Queen described the ornate blue and gold creation, titled "Green Man Humpty Dumpty", as "wonderful".

The egg is one of 123 placed across London as part of the charitable initiative.

Designer Alice Shirley, who created the egg, said that King Charles has long been an admirer of her work and even received a leopard painting from her as a 70th birthday gift.

It was Camilla’s first outing since King Charles’s hospitalisation last week for side effects of cancer treatment. He has since returned to public duties.
