A new photograph of the Queen has been released to celebrate her 78th birthday on Thursday.
Camilla was pictured smiling in the sunshine and leaning on a metal gate in front of a meadow at her Wiltshire home Raymill.
The image taken by photographer Chris Jackson shows the Queen looking relaxed and wearing a turquoise dress in a Liberty fabric printed with a rainforest of toucans, lemurs and monkeys.
Last year, Camilla was on duty on her birthday attending the State Opening of Parliament at the King’s side.
This year, she is said to be spending the day privately.
The King, who is still being treated for cancer, is known to have been buoyed by his wife’s support since his diagnosis last year.
The pair celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary at the start of April and have had a busy run of engagements, including hosting a state visit by the French president last week and a high-profile trip to Italy earlier this year.
They are coming up to their summer break in Scotland, but once that is over, the mammoth preparations for Donald Trump’s state visit will be well underway.
On Wednesday, the Queen was gifted a roll of clingfilm for her birthday in a special holder when she visited a nuclear-powered submarine in Plymouth.
The wrapping was used in an emergency to fix a defect in the main engines of HMS Astute.
“There’s nothing more useful, brilliant, how wonderful,” the Queen remarked about the present which had a small plaque with the words “Clingflim keeping nuclear submarines at sea”.
Camilla is also to be made a Vice Admiral – an honorary role – in recognition of her support of the Royal Navy, it was announced the same day.
