Queen Camilla speaks at the special ceremony at Westminster Abbey: 

According to The Guardian, while speaking at the stone unveiling event Her Highness said, "I just want to say how delighted I am to unveil this foundation stone, I can't believe the last time I was here there's now a floor the last time I came here there were quite a lot of skeletons."

"I just hope that in 2026, when it's due to finish, God willing, my husband and I will be back here again to open the King Charles III sacristy," she urged.

Queen Camilla becomes patron for King Charles' sacristy foundation: 

For those unaware, Camilla took charge of King Charles' sacristy in 1997 before marrying the monarch.

She later became president of the foundation in 2001, in a highly publicised event, accompanied by her life partner.
