A Glimpse at Royalty

Hey guys, Micah here.

I just thought I'd tell you about last Saturday, when we went to London with some friends to watch the play "Wicked." By the way, it was a great play, and forget everything you ever learned from the film Wizard of Oz, because it's all just subterfuge and a cover story for what really happened.

Okay, back to the rest of the day in London. As we were walking to the theater (and quite lost,) we saw a big crowd of people gathered near the palace, so we wandered over to see what was going on. We learned that it was the queen's official birthday celebration, and about 2 minutes later prince Harry and William scampered by in a horse-drawn carriage:



Jennie says the woman in blue is Camille. I'm not sure who that is, which probably exposes my ignorance of the Royal Family. However, a few minutes later another woman in blue rode by:




And even an ignoramus like me knows that that's the queen, so needless to say we were glad we stopped by to see what the crowd was all about. After all, the queen is almost as difficult to catch on film as this other camera-shy personality:


Okay, well I'm off to bed, have a happy Tuesday everyone!

Oh Jennie,
I have a friend from London named Camille, and she HATES her name because of the woman you mentioned. At least a couple of years ago, England did not like her because it is who Prince Charles cheated on with when he was married to Diana. Now, he is married to her, but maybe things have changed and now they like her??
