Queen Consort Camilla sits surrounded by Paddington Bear cuddly toys, all set to be lovingly looked after by needy kids.
The bears, among more than a thousand left in tribute at royal residences after the Queen’s death, are to be passed to children’s charity Barnardo’s to be distributed to vulnerable youngsters.
The snap, released by Buckingham Palace, was taken in the Morning Room at Clarence House on Thursday – the 64th anniversary of author Michael Bond’s first Paddington book.
