Am I the only one who found the vidual carried out by The Queen's Grandchildren, a little weird and uncomfotable. Why would they want to place themselves in a position to be gawped at by the generel public? I think they should have been allowed to do it in private.

The whole thing should’ve been private imo. I can’t imagine what it must feel like having all those people gawp at you whilst grieving the loss of a loved one.

The answer to everything is tradition, though this has been slightly modified for modern times

As with most traditions it does feel outdated. It seems better suited for the days where the monarchy didn’t really interact much with the public on these occasions - probably didn’t do walkarounds and things weren’t really filmed

They only really started this huge funeral tradition over a century ago. Before that the Royal family’s funerals were all at night behind closed doors.

A kid goes into the back of my ankles, whilst I'm walking forwards, and I should watch where I'm going? Sorry, I must've missed my fitting for eyes in the back of my head 🙄

I always got the impression the Royal Family were public owned ...

I love one song (Friends in Low Places). Beyond that I know nothing about him. I have seen a few posts like this though. Has he done or said something recently?

Kids are kids, they’re clumsy but they have as much right to roam the world as you do. If you’re worried about bumping into one just give them a wide berth and you’ll be fine smh

What I want to know is, what that medal is that Edward's lad, had pinned to his jacket.

Maybe he got it for learning to wipe his arse properly, can't think what else he has done to warrant a medal at his age.

They are jubilee medals for the Diamond and Platinum jubilees. All Royals got them but women can’t wear them unless they are in uniform or it seems a suit of some form. At the the Windsor Horse Show for the Queen's 90th Birthday and Louise drove the carriage in a riding outfit and she wore the Diamond Jubilee Medal. I think the rules should be changed so that the ladies can’t wear them.

Rules should be changed, so that nobody can wear them.

Basically they are participation medals. These nonsensical medals devalue the medals for actual service.

Anyway thank you for telling me. I googled it as soon as I saw him, but nothing came up. Probably because it's a nothing medal.
