Queen Camilla’s long-standing affection for Winnie-the-Pooh was on full display.
Unlike King Charles, whose arrival in a Rolls-Royce the day before attracted widespread attention online, the Queen opted for a more low-key entrance and arrived in a black Range Rover.
Dressed in a green leaf-print dress that echoed the forest surroundings.
Palace shared another heartwarming post from their visit to Ashdown Forest on Tuesday, celebrating the centenary of AA Milne’s beloved children’s classic.
The Royal Family’s Instagram account opened the post with one of the author’s beloved quotes: “I wonder what Piglet is doing,” Pooh thought.
“I’d like to be there to do it too.”
Alongside the words, the Palace shared a photograph of the Queen standing outside the famous Piglet House.
Another post captured the warm welcome awaiting Her Majesty, as children waved Union flags and members of the public greeted her with stuffed toys.
Smiling throughout the visit, the celebrations concluded with her cutting a special themed cake.
The Palace accompanied the second post with another memorable quote from AA Milne: “Wherever you go, and whatever happens along the way, in that enchanted place high in the woods, there will always be a boy and his bear playing.”
During her visit, Queen Camilla met staff, volunteers and local schoolchildren at “The Enchanted Place”, the place where Christopher Robin says goodbye to Pooh in The House at Pooh Corner.
During the visit, he described Winnie-the-Pooh as “a universal hero.”
“It’s so nice to be back in Sussex,” she revealed that she spent “a lot of time as a child” playing Poohsticks.
