|July 17, 2025
THE Queen has spoken of how uplifting children’s hospices can be after playing air hockey with a teenager during a visit to a Westcountry charity.
-
Camilla listened to performances and spoke with care users, families and staff during a visit to Little Bridge House in Fremington, Devon, yesterday.
The unit - part of Children’s Hospice South West - is celebrating its 30th anniversary of providing care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and also helps support their families.
During her second visit to Little Bridge, the Queen spoke of the importance of children’s hospices, saying more are needed around the country.
Her speech followed a game of air hockey with Daisy Clark, 15, a bereaved sibling.
The Queen immediately won a point from her opponent and played a second short rally, which ended in a draw.
