The Queen carries a number of items with her in her carriage for the Trooping the Colour celebrations – find out what they were
June 12, 2020 - 21:49 BST Fiona Ward The Queen is preparing to celebrate her annual birthday parade Trooping the Colour on Saturday, although this year's affair will be a much more scaled-down event given the current climate. And while the weather in Windsor is forecast to be bright sunshine, Her Majesty is always prepared in case of a British downpour.
During the coverage, the cameras panned above Her Majesty as she made her way to Horse Guard's Parade, revealing that she also had a large handbag in the cart with her, and an umbrella – just in case! She also kept warm with a blanket over her legs, as did other royals during the parade, including the Duchess of Cornwall.Viewers got a peek inside the Queen's carriage. Image: BBC
It seems that the Queen's accessory of choice wasn't her trusty Launer handbag, like usual, and actually looks more like a large holdall bag – we wonder what she had inside? Her Fulton umbrella was clear to see with its signature transparent design, however – Her Majesty is known to match her umbrellas to her outfits on rainy days! Since the sun came out for the crowds last year, she didn't need to worry about taking cover in the end.
This isn't the first time the monarch has shown royal watchers a glimpse at how she likes to travel – adorable snaps of the Duchess of Cambridge and the Queen emerged in March 2019, which sweetly showed them sharing a blanket in the car as they arrived at their engagement at King's College London. We're not surprised Her Majesty likes to come prepared for anything!Trooping the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British sovereign for over 260 years.
