The Queen is hoping to attend the Chelsea Flower Show next week alongside other royals including her granddaughter Princess Beatrice, Buckingham Palace has announced.
Members of the royal family will be visiting the event at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London on Monday ahead of its official opening the next day.
Prince Edward, Sophie Wessex, Beatrice, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and Princess Alexandra are confirmed to be attending.
However, it is understood a decision will be taken on the day as to whether the 96-year-old monarch, who has mobility issues, will be able to go.
Members of the royal family traditionally tour the gardens at Chelsea.
Among the displays will be The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Garden, which will feature laser-cut steel silhouettes of the monarch, surrounded by 70 planted terracotta pots, representing each year of her reign.
The RAF Benevolent Fund Garden will hark back to the Battle of Britain in celebration of the support the charity has provided to RAF personnel, veterans and their families for over 100 years.
The royals will also be shown The Mind Garden, which provides a colourful place for people to connect and open up.

It will later be transported to a local Mind organisation, providing eco-therapy for those with mental health problems.
The gardening extravaganza is returning to its May dates for the first time since the pandemic.
The Queen has been the Royal Horticultural Society’s royal patron since 1952 and was a regular visitor to the garden show with her parents as a child.
She has attended more than 50 times during her 70-year reign.
The announcement of her possible appearance comes after the Queen has been seen out and about several times in the last week - despite suffering from mobility problems.
Last Friday, she made an appearance at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and on Sunday attended the show's main event A Gallop Through History, which was broadcast on TV.
Meanwhile earlier this week, she made a surprise appearance at Paddington Station to officially opening the new Elizabeth Line in London.
Her Majesty met staff key to the Crossrail project, as well as Elizabeth Line staff who will be running the railway - including apprentices, drivers, and station crew.
The Earl of Wessex was due to mark the completion of the line named in honour of Her Majesty but the monarch was aware of the engagement and decided to attend at the last minute.
However, several weeks ago, she pulled out of attending the State Opening of Parliament, and left heir Prince Charles to read the Queen's Speech for the first time.
