The Queen made a return to face-to-face engagements on Wednesday, days after being monitored for COVID-19 due to the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall both testing positive.

Her Majesty held an audience inside the Oak Room in Windsor Castle, which is used as a sitting room, and the ornaments she had on display included a subtle tribute to her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.

While framed photos of the Queen with her great-grandchildren and a collage of photos of Prince Philip were among the prominent items on display, eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that on a table in the background was an antique Wedgwood bowl in the shape of a cabbage, which may also remind her of her husband.
'Cabbage' was a nickname Philip affectionately used for his wife, which came to light after the 2006 film, The Queen, was released. It is not known whether the item was a gift from the late Duke, but it no doubt holds fond memories nonetheless.
