On top of the flowers was a note from King Charles III to his mother that read, "In loving and devoted memory, Charles R."

BBC In a statement, the palace said the arrangement is symbolic: rosemary "for remembrance," English oak for "the strength of love," and myrtle for "a happy marriage."The latter was cut from a plant grown from the Queen's 1947 wedding bouquet, after her wedding to Prince Philip.
