The event was supposed to mark the Queen’s first public appearance after doctors advised her to rest following an overnight stay in hospital last month. “As in previous years, a wreath will be laid on Her Majesty’s behalf by the Prince of Wales.” On Thursday, 11 November, Charles reassured members of the public in Brixton, London, that his mother is in good health. The heir apparent was meeting young people helped by his charity, the Prince’s Trust, at a NatWest branch when one person asked him: “Prince Charles, how is your mother?” Patting the man on the arm, the royal replied: “She’s all right, thank you.” The Queen spent a night in hospital in October to undergo “preliminary checks”, Buckingham Palace said at the time.
