Let’s just say life in the royal household is sweeter than ever these days. During the 140th annual Sandringham Flower Show on Wednesday, July 26, Queen Camilla couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight of a pie that looked uncannily like her husband, King Charles III. Now, that’s what I call a royal dessert moment!
As she stood there, surrounded by fresh baked goods that could make any foodie swoon, Camilla pointed at the pie and playfully remarked, “That looks much like my husband.” If you ask me, it’s not every day you see a pastry that could double as a royal portrait. And let’s be honest, it takes a lot to make a queen chuckle, so this baker clearly hit the jackpot.
From Flour to Fame: The Pie That Stole the Show
Among the array of delicious treats laid out on the table in front of Camilla at the event in Norfolk, England, this particular pie was the star of the show. While other pastries may have caught her eye, none could compare to the one that bore an uncanny resemblance to His Majesty. The craftsmanship didn’t stop at Charles’ face either; the pie featured an intricately designed crown made from pie crust and adorned with colorful icing to mimic the gemstones of the actual crown Charles wore during his coronation on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, following the passing of his beloved mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

When Camilla noticed the striking resemblance, she couldn’t resist calling Charles over to take a look. “It’s an artwork, I think,” Charles said with a smile, clearly amused by the baker’s creativity. Who knew pies could be so artistic? This dessert wasn’t just a treat for the taste buds—it was a masterpiece that brought joy to the royal couple.
A Royal Day Out: Camilla and Charles Shine at Sandringham
The Sandringham Flower Show, a prestigious horticultural event that draws an estimated 20,000 attendees each year, was the perfect backdrop for this delightful moment. Camilla looked every bit the queen consort in her stunning floral Fiona Clare outfit—a green dress paired with nude heels and a woven purse. Charles, ever the gentleman, donned a khaki suit with a bold red tie. The couple arrived in style, riding in a horse-drawn carriage, and greeted members of the enthusiastic crowd as they entered the estate.
Throughout the day, the royal couple took part in various activities, including judging competitions for vegetables, fruits, and floral displays. But the highlight, without a doubt, was their encounter with the remarkable pie. It was entered in the category of “a dainty dish to set before a king,” and it’s safe to say it lived up to its name. After enjoying the desserts, Camilla and Charles toured the “Flowers From the Farm” showcase, where Camilla playfully plucked a flower from the exhibition and pinned it onto Charles’ blazer. It was a charming touch that added even more warmth to their already delightful day.
Celebrating Camilla’s Birthday and Beyond
This outing came just a week after Camilla celebrated her 76th birthday, marking her first as queen consort. To honor the occasion, the bells of Westminster Abbey rang out in celebration, and the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace featured a heartfelt rendition of “Happy Birthday.” A 41-gun salute in London’s Green Park, conducted by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, rounded out the festivities. Camilla, however, chose to enjoy a quiet day off from public engagements to mark the occasion. It’s moments like these that remind us of the humanity behind the crown.
