Prince William

I've read that the hats worn by the royal guard are made from the fur of bears.  😢

the picture of Prince Philip is probably an older one.

He's pretty well sedate now. He's pushing 100

She rotated the colors depending on which of the foot guards were doing a special bit.

My mother looks exactly like the queen, especially pictured here.  (What a cute pic of her.)

Long before they *met*, my father (Navy) used to have to salute my mother every morning when she boarded the ferry he ran (Philippines) over to the American Embassy.  

She was smitten.

He was not.

At first.
