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.
