It comes after Princess Eugenie, Zara and their families celebrated the double Christening of the Queen’s great-grandsons.
Fears arose that Her Majesty might not be there after she missed the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph because of an injury to her back.
The 95-year old cancelled her Remembrance Sunday appearance and warned that “none of us could slow the passing of time”. This was via the speech of the Earl of Wessex, who delivered the address after the monarch had failed to address Church of England’s National Assembly for the first time during her 69 years of reign.
