"Prince Charles has been snapped having an animated conversation during a hike on his Transylvanian estate in Romania. The royal, 73, whose estate is in Valea Zalanului, Szeklerland, has ancestry in Transylvania. His maternal great-great-great-grandmother Klaudia Rhedey was born and raised in the region."

"Charles, who bought the estate in the late '90s, and has been a regular visitor to Romania since, was spotted wearing sensible walking shoes and slacks for the hike."

"He also carried a pair of binoculars, slung around his neck, and carried a stick for tackling some of the visibly uneven terrain."

"The walk came a day after the royal visited Ukrainian refugees, during an unannounced tour of the Romexpo donation centre for refugees in the capital Bucharest."

Dear God, that's my Gramma, back from the dead.... she's in the black and white floral, under the potted plant!

Check out Charles' flirty expression as he pushes Maude around the dance floor. Do ya think she'll swoon? What do you think he's saying to her?

I'm after the snappy chap in front of the pillar sorta to the right...shades, spiffy straw hat and cool striped blazer. My goodness, those trousers are a bit long.

But then the guy dressed in brown isn't bad for a bald guy. After all, Prince William... never mind. Is his name Lurch?

Gee @hollydolly, thanks for inviting me. It's a great party!
🤣
 

Actually jjust to put the record straight, ..if you see the video of Charlotte and her 2 brothers in the carriage, she's pushing his hand down gently to stop him frantically waving.. not holding his hand.. :D I'll see if I can find it..
 
It's such a pity, because now it's a beautiful sunny hot day. If they'd only held it this afternoon, instead of this morning it would be even more glorious. That said, these things are planned many years in advance, so they couldn't have changed it to suit the weather

Little Prince Louis is my favorite. He puts his all into his waving responsibilities! So cute. I remember him waving furiously on the balcony while William held him when he was still a baby.

It's a lot for the kids.. Charlotte 7.. George 8 , and Louis only 4 years old... they did marvellously well for kids so young
 
You wouldn't have guessed it by looking at our 96 year old sovereign today.. but she was in so much pain, she's pulled out of tomorrows' thanksgiving service at St Pauls' Cathedral...
:(

The Queen will miss a thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral tomorrow after experiencing "discomfort" at today's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.


The 96-year-old monarch, who has struggled with her mobility in recent months, made the decision "with great reluctance", officials said.

The service is being held on the second day of celebrations to mark her 70 years on the throne.

The Queen was pictured smiling alongside senior royals on the balcony at Buckingham Palace during the Trooping the Colour parade and flypast, but the day took its toll.


A source said that she experienced "episodic mobility issues", forcing her to make the "regrettable but sensible" decision not to attend tomorrow's service.


It is not known if the sovereign will miss any other events celebrating her seven decades as head of state.

I think she’s amazing for her stamina and I’m glad she’s taking care of herself…. While I consider myself a patient and refined person, I do believe I’d have been pulling a face similar to Prince Louis’ in post #380 about 2/3s of the way through all that pomp and ceremony!
 
It's tough to put on a smiling and happy face when you are in such discomfort. That lady is obviously riddled with arthritis, yet, she soldiers on. Happy 70th, your majesty. I remember when you became the Queen.
