Watching the State Opening of Parliament, why was the Duke of Edinburgh wearing a naval uniform in a coach?
It’s not a boat.
Why is it the Royal Family, and indeed other royalties of the world, have to parade in uniforms of war? I hate wars.
Mind you, I had more decorations than some of them – I was a King’s Scout, and paraded during the early part of the Second World War.
Back then we had a good reason, but we are not at war now.
