Nice story. The ultimate job for a keen horsewoman. I bet she'll get to wear some fancy ceremonial uniforms. I note it's called the King's Troop. Anyone know why it's not called the Queen's Troop? Last edited by Warren; 01-30-2007 at 06:23 AM. Reason: ed quote |

I should imagine for the same reason that the King's Door isn't called the Queen's Door - the Queen decided to keep their names in honour of her late father.

I wondered if it had a particular connection with one of the Kings. I know I could have hunted around myself, but I have dial-up and my computer is being particularly painfully slow at the moment so I took the easy way out and asked. ![]() |

There was a bit of a do at Sandringham this weekend. Apparently someone shot a fox while they were all out shooting birds. Legal, but only just. The fox wasn't killed outright (they were using shotguns), so someone was photographed hitting it with a fence post.
The big to do, was purely, from what I can see, the fact that Prince Philip was there at the time. I know I am against hunting with hounds, I know I am against cruelty of any sort, but what did they want him to do, jump in front of it shouting no, no? ![]() Prince Philip watches fox shot, stamped on and beaten to death This fox could have suffered agonising gunshot wounds for up to five minutes before being put out of its misery during a Royal pheasant shoot at Sandringham yesterday. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/mailFr...n_page_id=1770

Here is another picture gallery of the Queen's visit to the King Edward VII High School in King's Lynn, Norfolk, UK on January 24, 2007 - I think she looked very good in that red dress - very lovely and still so full of energy..
