Prince Charles calls The Queen 'Mummy' at her 92nd birthday party



The Queen rolled her eyes this evening when Prince Charles called her 'Mummy' when he took to the stage at the end of her birthday concert.



The Prince of Wales raised three cheers at the Royal Albert Hall when he wished his mother a happy 92nd birthday as a star-studded celebration came to a close.



Addressing the Queen, he first referred to her as 'Your Majesty', before switching to the more familiar 'Mummy', prompting the monarch to roll her eyes and smile. 



They appeared on stage at the conclusion of the evening, flanked by performers on an evening which saw a spectacular line-up of singers including Sting and Shaggy, Tom Jones and Kylie Minogue.





Charles told his mother: 'I have a feeling that in 1948 when you were 22, you didn't somehow expect at your 92nd birthday to find your son in his 70th year - just able still to raise a small Hip, Hip.



'Would you all give Her Majesty three unbelievably rousing cheers on her birthday?





The audience responded rousingly, with the Queen waving her hand to acknowledge the warm applause.



At a meeting of Commonwealth heads of government this weak it was agreed that Prince Charles would succeed the Queen in the role of head of the body, which she has led since she took the throne in 1952.





The Queen took her seat at the Albert Hall wearing gold, while Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince William joined her in the Royal box as the concert got underway.



She was then presented with a bouquet of flowers by seven-year-old Mason, who was also celebrating his birthday today.



Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were among the first to be pictured arriving at the Royal Albert Hall, with Meghan wearing a £1,148 Stella McCartney cape dress and matching the Prince of Wales, the Countess of Wessex and Lady Louise Windsor in navy blue colours.



The Duke of Cambridge was seen waving from the back of a car as he arrived for the 'Queen's Birthday Party' with Harry and fiancee Meghan, but without his pregnant wife Kate. Prime Minister Theresa May and her husband were also in attendance.



Former Strictly star and Labour MP Ed B*lls took to the stage to play the ukelele for the Queen along with comedians Harry Hill and Frank Skinner, with the Queen pictured apparently nodding along to a rendition of George Formby's When I'm Cleaning Windows.



Prince Harry also took to the stage during the concert to wish his grandmother a happy birthday, and said: 'Tonight we are celebrating the Queen's Birthday but Your Majesty, if you do not mind me saying, you are not someone who is easy to buy gifts for.'





The Prince also led tributes to his grandmother in his new role as president of The Queen's Commonwealth Trust, saying: 'As we celebrate your 92nd birthday this evening and in recognition of your incredible life of service, I am delighted to say that the Queen's Commonwealth Trust has now been launched to support young leaders around the Commonwealth.



'This organisation, in your name, will provide a platform for those working to make a difference in their communities across 53 countries. Happy Birthday Your Majesty.'



Harry paid tribute to his mother and spoke about the charity work of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust of which he was recently appointed president. 



The Queen celebrates two birthdays every year: Her actual birthday on April 21, which she usually marks privately with her family, and her 'official birthday' in the summer. It usually falls on the second Saturday in June, when she joins the Trooping the Color military parade in central London.



Earlier in the day, honorary g*n salutes were staged in Hyde Park, the Tower of London and in Windsor to mark the occasion.
