What we can learn from the Duchess of Sussex’s first Trooping The Colour, and her week ahead travelling to Cheshire with the Queen
Starting a week of royal pomp and spectacle with a star
Our resident Royals watcher on celebrations of the Queen’s birthday
On Saturday, it’s the Queen’s birthday. No, not her real one (that’s on April 21), but rather her “official” me day, held in June in the hopes for better weather for all the troops that gather for the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony. Then on Monday, everyone moves to Windsor Castle for a church service for members of the Order of the Garter, the world’s oldest order of chivalry, and certainly one with the kookiest outfits. And finally, a week of pure fun and delight for the Queen—watching horses race at Ascot.
