King Charles given paper crown by four-year-old girl whose mother is battling cancer

King Charles was presented with a paper crown by a four-year-old girl on his visit to a new hospice in Norfolk.

Charles received his gift during a visit to open the new Priscilla Bacon Lodge hospice in Norwich, where patients are given a boost every mid-morning – the offer of a tipple from a drinks trolley.

Arielle Bayliss, whose mother Rebecca Turner has stage three melanoma, made the crown for the King.

Arielle presented the crown on a blanket and after Charles asked: “Is that for me, thank you very much, did you put that together?” the youngster made everyone in the room laugh when she took back the blanket and gave it to her mother.
