Brush With Royalty In London

By on January 18, 2025

Recently, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I had a full day layover in London, England. So we stored our luggage in lockers and headed out to explore.

(First, we had to visit the post office to exchange some ancient pounds for current currency, a task we were given by the elders to complete.)

The streets around Buckingham Palace were blocked off. The Qatar flag was flying everywhere.

Some guards on horseback passed.

We stopped and watched.

Then a carriage with King Charles III clearly visible in it passed. (He was looking his age.)

A carriage with Kate, Princess of Wales, visible followed. (She was looking extremely regal.)

The parade continued for many moments after that.

Dear Wonderful Hubby joked that every horse in England was in attendance. (grins)

It was all very exciting!

But not everyone was as enthralled as we were. During the display, one woman was enthusiastically taking photos…of a squirrel in a nearby park. (laughs)
