The royals were out in full force last week

The afternoon was a treat for royal fans who witnessed a fun moment between the monarch, Camilla and Kate as they attended an event in celebration of The Big Lunch initiative at The Eden Project – their first outing together in a while.

For the occasion, the 95-year-old opted for her leafy floral Angela Kelly dress, teamed with black pumps, her signature Launer handbag and chic white gloves.

Kate looked elegant in a white Alexander McQueen coat dress, accessorising with nude heels and a clutch bag and wearing her hair in her signature glossy waves.

The Queen was accompanied by Camilla and Kate - and had great fun together

Looking as gorgeous as her counterparts, Camilla wore a pale grey and white chiffon dress from Fiona Clare, with her favourite Chanel pumps to add a chic touch.

She sweetly carried a handbag she was given during her visit to Athens, too, and added her usual pearl jewellery.
