And yes I am gushing a little, but I am a big fan of the British Royal Family (having worked as a Housemaid at Buckingham Palace in the 1980's; in fact when I was there William and Harry were toddlers, and just look at them now! Fine young men who do both of their parents and their country proud, but I digress.....) and I love occasions like this. I do not begrudge them their privileged lifestyle, because the money, fabulous jewellery and wardrobe goes hand in hand with responsibilities, pressures and lack of privacy which I am glad not to have. If I put a foot wrong in public very few people will know or care, unlike the high profile Royal Family, whose every move, comment or outfit is reported by journalists worldwide.
I also feel that they bring in a lot of income, through trade and tourism, plus raising awareness about various causes and charities, so I feel they are extremely good value for money, and the Queen especially has served her country unfalteringly for over 60 years.
So how lovely to see photos and share in the joy of a special occasion. Plus it's a fabulous excuse to have a celebratory glass of wine this evening after work!
