During a visit to a garden museum in Lambeth, south London, the Queen shook hands with three-year-old Max using his toy dinosaur. The little boy had a few moments of playful tug-of-war with Queen Camilla, before she let go with a laugh. Among the guests at the event to mark Winter Flowers Week were TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh, president of the Garden Museum, and Shane Connolly, florist for the Queen's wedding to Charles in 2005, who also created one of the designs for the new exhibition.

00:00 How are you? Nice to see you again.
00:04 Hello, how are you? Very well, thank you.
00:09 Rupert Tyler, Chairman of the Chamber.
00:12 You work for the perfume and there's three scents and you want people to choose a scent that's going to be immortal.
00:18 Because you're transported as you go down the stairs.
00:21 Yes, yes.
00:23 It's going to be up for the week.
00:26 Yes, yes, yes.
00:28 You've given me an idea.
00:31 Shame to waste it.
00:33 Absolutely.
00:35 No, that's really lovely.
00:37 I thought you'd like a winter.
00:39 Any of you have a best of track?
00:41 I think there might be something.
00:45 He's not sort of reluctant.
00:47 Something else will come up.
00:50 I like it.
00:53 I like it.
00:55 I like it.

01:07 William actually met at the Garden Museum exhibiting in our British Flowers Week five years ago.
01:13 Yes, and now they're together in love and business.
01:17 What a romantic story.
01:20 Good things happen in the garden.
01:22 And of course, teleports.
01:24 We couldn't be without the teleports.
01:27 This is Tassie and her two children.
01:30 Hello, hello.
01:32 And your two boys.
01:34 Those are lovely.
01:35 Thank you very much indeed.
01:37 And that's your jersey.
01:39 Tolstoy began Anna Karenina.
01:42 Happy families are all alike.
01:44 Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
01:46 And unhappiness is of course always close.
01:48 But without disrespecting that, and Tolstoy's poking the reader in the ribs,
01:52 every happy family is happy in its own way.
01:55 And as you become older, I think, you notice all the world's little rightnesses
01:59 and study how many twists and troubles and turns lead to happiness
02:03 and how it has as many, more perhaps, colours and aspects as the more often studied tragedies.
02:09 And why floristry can draw out such talent.
02:11 A tiny expressive gesture of our gratitude to your Majesty.
02:16 [Applause]
