An expert has come forward with her take on the whole turn of events at the Trooping of Colour event.
The editor of Majesty magazine, commentator Ingrid Seward made this comment in her observation about the royal family’s demeanor during the Trooping of Color, with The Sun.
For those unversed with the event, it is a formal celebration of the monarch’s birthday, and features a number of events, carried by 1400 parading soldiers, 200 heroes and almost 400 musicians and is held in June mainly in the hopes of better weather, according to the Royal Family’s official website.
In terms of Ms Sewards thoughts she noted how much “cheer”, “colour” and “vibrancy” was preset on that slimmed down balcony.
“They all looked relaxed and joyful — as if they had at last put all the troubles of the King and Catherine’s cancer diagnoses behind them.”
But she also hailed the Firm’s ability to maintain a dignified stance despite the wind, the recent AirIndia crash and everything in between.
In the eyes of the expert, “it would have been hard not to feel emotional at the minute’s silence to honour the victims”.
Because the entire family appeared united. “The Princess Royal, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales sat stationary on their powerful steeds. Princess Charlotte, a keen rider herself, will have been looking hard at the magnificent number of horses.”
Not to mention even Queen Camilla didn’t have on her usual smile, but maintained her dignified elegance.
It is pertinent to mention that this year the royal balcony saw only the senior members of the Firm present. Starting with the King and Queen, following the Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Then the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and The Princess Royal, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence and The Duke and Duchess of Glouceste came in, in their respective carriages.
