"The Princess Royal, 72, took part in the Coronation Procession following the crowning ceremony as the "Gold-Stick-in-Waiting." The prestigious position, which Princess Anne has held since 1998, dates back to the 15th century when two officers — a Gold Stick and a Silver Stick — were placed close to the monarch to protect them from harm.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's only daughter rode on horseback behind King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, in the Gold State Coach as they made their way from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace. Princess Anne led 6,000 armed services personnel through the streets of London in the procession.
While many members of the royal family participated in the parade by riding in horse-drawn carriages or cars, Princess Anne was the only royal to ride on horseback."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@blondie said in The Coronation:
Don’t like Charles or his spouse. I’m not watching.
That’s what Mrs. George said this AM.
Tell Mrs George we call her Horse Face here too.
Princess Anne rocks. She’s all in, committed to duty, like QEII was. I respect that.
