The Swedish-born blonde, who is a longtime supporter of the Women's Royal Voluntary Service, joined fellow British celebrities Cilla Black and Alan Titchmarsh at the reception, which marked the launch of a new WRVS fundraising campaign.
Around 700 guests – including volunteers, representatives from big business, and famous names from the world of entertainment – were on hand as Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh lent their support to the cause.
The charity hopes to raise £500,000 over the next two years to secure and develop the Meals On Wheels organisation's community services.
Today,Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh will give a Reception for Olympic medallists to mark the centenary year of the British Olympic Association at Buckingham Palace.
The Clarence House announcement revealed that all the monarch's other children, as well as the spouses of Princess Anne and Prince Edward, will be at the civil ceremony in Windsor Guildhall on April 8.
Initially Charles and Camilla's desire for a low-key ceremony had been cited as the reason for the Queen's non-attendance, but the participation of all the other senior members of the royal family has made this excuse seem a little thin. The British monarch's role as Supreme Governor of the Church of England also made her involvement in the actual wedding ceremony difficult, however.
Royal aides had apparently not expected Anne, Andrew and Edward to attend the register office ceremony. Commenting on the news that they would be there after all a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: "It hasn't really changed the position. The Queen made her decision some weeks ago and obviously other members of the family, after consulting their diaries, had decided that they were going. It's up to them to make their decision."
The Queen and Prince Philip will join the other guests for the blessing at St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle where they will host a reception for the newlyweds.
