THE King smiled seeing a boy’s paper crown at a flower show yesterday — as mourners paid tribute to Princess Diana on the 27th anniversary of her death.
Charles, 75, took note of eight-year-old Oliver Keith’s creation at the annual Summer Flower Show of the Royal Horticultural Society Aberdeen.

Sporting a tartan kilt and sporran, the monarch — who took over as RHSA patron after his mother’s death — admired the flowers and veg with Chairman Brian Grant.
Charles is currently taking his end-of-summer holiday at the Balmoral Castle estate in Aberdeenshire with Queen Camilla.
But he has broken tradition by choosing to stay at Birkhall, the more intimate 18th-century house on the grounds that he used while still heir to the throne.
Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Lady Victoria are understood to be staying in the main castle at the King’s invitation before Parliament returns tomorrow.
Meanwhile, well-wishers gathered at Kensington Palace to pay their respects to the “people’s princess”, placing flowers, flags, and photographs outside the gates.
According to royal sources, every year since Diana’s passing, sons William and Harry have made a pilgrimage to her resting place at Althorp House in Northants.
It is understood they used to make the journey together, but have done so separately after the Duke of Sussex quit royal life.
It comes days after the feuding brothers refused to speak to one another at the memorial service of their uncle Baron Robert Fellowes.
It is understood their attendance was orchestrated by Diana’s sister Lady Jane, widow of Lord Fellowes, who has tirelessly pushed for Harry to reconcile with his royal relatives.
