Before the reception, Camille headed to the Buckingham Palace Quadrangle, where she took photos with guests and mini ponies.
There, she was filmed feeding carrots to two adorable mini ponies, who seemed to enjoy their snack and the tickling under the Queen’s chin.
Guests at the event included Brooke ambassadors and supporters, including actress Annette Badland, veterinarian Dr. Scott Miller, newscaster Angela Ripponand the charity’s patron, Alastair Stewart.
The Queen looked typically elegant as she attended the event, wearing a blue midi dress with an abstract print.
She paired the long-sleeved dress with simple nude almond-toe pumps.
Camilla wore her blonde bob in a loose, wavy style, and kept her makeup simple and natural.
After feeding the animals in the Quadrangle at Buckingham Palace, the reception continued indoors, where Her Majesty met Brooke’s staff and supporters, who last year reached more than 10,000 communities around the world.
During the event, Brooke’s chief executive Chris Wainwright gave a speech before the Queen cut a cake.

Camilla has a long-standing relationship with the charity and has been its president since 2006.

According to Brooke, for some 600 million people in some of the poorest places, these working animals “are the backbone of communities and their best means of earning a living.”
The charity aims to improve the lives of these animals, as well as giving people in the developing world the opportunity to gain employment.
Brooke was founded by Dorothy Brooke, the wife of a British cavalry officer, who sought out former war horses that had been put to work in Cairo and beyond when the conflict ended in 1918.
Her pleas in a letter to the editor of the then Morning Post (now The Telegraph) in 1931 were heard and, with the help of the British public, Dorothy raised enough money to buy back 5,000 horses.
Following this, Dorothy established a veterinary clinic in Cairo, which has now become the global organization that Brooke is today.
