OLIVIA,7, ENJOYS CHRISTMAS TEA WITH THE QUEEN ON BREAK FROM CHEMOTHERPY

A LITTLE girl who has spent most of her life on chemotherapy was invited for afternoon tea with the Queen - and tried a cuppa for the first time.

Olivia Taylor, seven, has a brain tumour which has left her blind but she leapt up to shout "Hello, your Majesty!" as Camilla entered the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle.

And on sipping her drink, poured by the Queen, the schoolgirl declared: "I love tea" to which Camilla replied: "Oh you love tea! There you are, you'll be able to have tea from now on".

Olivia and her family were invited for private tea after the Queen learned she had performed with the Bexley Music Primary Choir at Buckingham Palace as part of the pre-recorded King's Christmas broadcast.

And Camilla was treated to a preview during their meeting, when Olivia stood up and sang Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, to which she received a round of applause.
