She added: 'I wanted to show my support for King Charles and the Princess of Wales who we are all wishing well. We want to show them that we miss them, Wales misses her. She may not be here but she is not forgotten.'
The Easter Matins Service - as it is officially known - concluded around 11.45am.
The King was applauded by members of the public as he left St George's Chapel to cries of "Happy Easter". Camilla was presented with a posy of white and yellow flowers by a young boy.
