Hello, friends,
King Charles turns 78 on Saturday, November 14. Yet the birthday most people see on television comes in June, when Trooping the Colour brings the royal family out for its annual parade. This week, we look at how those two dates came to sit side by side on the royal calendar.
We’re also following Princess Anne’s South Atlantic visit and looking back at the people who walked through Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday.
The people behind the march past
King Charles laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph on Sunday, before about 10,000 veterans marched through Whitehall. Among those honored were generations of service members whose stories can be easy to miss in a wide shot of the ceremony.
Ten years of The Crown
For viewers who remember staying up for a new season and having someone to talk to about it the next morning, The Crown was an occasion. We look back at the series and the fan community that kept the conversation going long after the credits.
