Just a little Royalty-related question...

[hlthe2b]

Here are Charles and William on horseback for the Queen's birthday celebration (Trooping the Colour Ceremony)

How the hell do they see wearing those things? Seriously. I feel for her Royal Guard wearing them, but at least they are on foot.

BTW, this was the official Trooping the Colour Ceremony. There is video and lots of photos at:

Don't you know Trump was LIVID that he was not invited to THIS! LOL

1. Perhaps they leave the seeing to the horses

I am fortunate enough to have been to the Queen's Birthday Celebration, years back. It is most definitely a spectacular event.

2. Yeah

A horse tends to follow the ones ahead of it. The rider is often just along for the ride.

3. Those uniforms used to be made of thick, heavy wool.

Probably uncomfortable even in London in June.

4. Better perspective from the side view...

Looks like they can see from almost horizontal downward.....

I'll bet they would be hell to keep on in a strong wind....
