The Queen hailed a photobombing toddler as a ‘natural’ in front of the cameras as he stole the show at a royal visit yesterday.
Fitzwilliam Corrie-Salmon, who is 23 months old, took a shine to the lenses and television microphones pointed at Camilla during her trip to Northern Ireland — and posed in front of her.
“We have got a natural for the cameras,” The Queen said, watching him in amusement.

His parents William Corrie, co-owner of the bakery, and Zoe Salmon, a former Blue Peter presenter, gave The Queen a tour of the shop and sent her home with fruit loaf and iced madeira.
Mr Corrie said The Queen was “great” with “Fitz”, adding: “We’ve got quite the story for him when he’s older.” Camilla, 76, wore a green wool crepe dress and coat by Bruce Oldfield and Queen Elizabeth’s turquoise and diamond three leaf clover brooch.
Her Majesty said the King was “doing very well”, despite missing out on the visit as he undergoes cancer treatment.
Responding to quips about men “not being the best patients”, she joked: “I try to keep him in order.”
“He’s very disappointed he can’t come,” she added.
At Coffey’s Butchers, which has been operating on the Lisburn Road since 1929, she accepted a bag of Northern Irish specialities including vegetable rolls, beef sausages and Belfast pickle.
“I shall take these back to my husband, he will really make the most of them,” she said.
