The Coronation
-
"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."

Didn’t see that. Had to leave for graduation. It’s on Wake Forest campus which is quite beautiful.

I'm participating in the celebrations by blasting this shit on max volume on the way to a kid's birthday party.
Let it not be said I forsook the customs.

At the moment touring in Ireland. Each and every pub we saw today had their tv on. Charles III was everywhere.
Just sigh.... -

Just sigh....Is that a good sigh, or a sad sigh?

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. -

There was a freaking wild party going in as we walked to the pub. Some very strong cigarettes were being smoked. I’m too old for that stuff. The first pub was charging over 6 pounds a pint, the second was charging 99 pence. Guess where we spent the evening.

Oh yeah, they’re arresting people for peacefully protesting. And I really do mean peaceful. For saying ‘Not My King’.
This place is really going downhill. Fucking Tories. One MP said ‘If people don’t like it they should leave’. I already did but he needs to remember who works for whom. Honestly what a bunch.
