Both Tony and Lyla were unable to attend a formal garden party on May 8: Tony due to traffic and Lyla due to ill health.
As a result, the two were invited to have tea with the Queen at her London residence.
The palace shared a video on X, highlighting their story and the garden party.
Arriving at Buckingham Palace, both children watched the Changing of the Guard from inside the forecourt.
They were then received by Her Majesty for a private tea party in the Summer House garden.
A selection of sandwiches, scones and King’s Guard-designed iced biscuits were provided to guests.

I bet in a way these two had a much better time than being with thousands on the day they should have attended. Long live their Majesties.

How lovely and hospitable. Camilla is making a difference in style. She’s very approachable and I really applaud her support for literacy.

This was probably even nicer for the children than a huge formal garden party would have been. They were able to have much more attention from the Queen, they had snacks that were perhaps a little more child friendly, have a short carriage ride and see the Changing of the Guard. Plus Tony had his award presented to him. They're not going to forget this day anytime soon. And Camilla is well experienced with hosting parties for children with disabilities. She's been doing one at Clarence House before Christmas for a number of years.
