A 7-year-old asked if the Queen kept a dragon

Queen Camilla hosted a treasure hunt and tea party for seriously ill children at Clarence House, her London residence, partnering with the nonprofit Dreams and Wishes. The children arrived by horse-drawn carriage to find Grenadier Guards posted at the door. The Queen's Equerry, Major Treasure, sent them searching for chocolate coins, which had been hidden under the guards' bearskin hats. One 7-year-old named Rupert brought along his Chief Scout's Commendation for Meritorious Conduct medal and asked the Queen to pin it on him herself. "He was really overwhelmed, and gradually, he has been getting more excited," his mother told The Independent. She said the family had decided this year was about saying "yes to life." Rupert had one outstanding question before the visit, which his mother also relayed. He wanted to know whether the Queen kept a dragon in her castle. Dreams and Wishes, founded in 2011, is run entirely by volunteers.
