Hope can the King do a salute and not know he has dirty white gloves on ? ...he has " People " to make sure everything is tip top .. When he raised his right hand in a salute I was shocked ! Dirty gloves ? What happened ?

Has to be a first in trivia spotting!
I was more interested in the Radio 4 commentary (I was in the car) which referenced the Duke abd Duchess of Wessex. confusedconfusedconfused

He looks like a throughly decent chap to me.

When it comes to the uniforms the high point for me is always Edward's wonderful coat with the scarlet lining. Hidden shallows I know.

Am I alone in picking up the Duke and Duchess of Wessex ????

What about them, maw?

That they're the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh now. Their son James is now Duke of Wessex?

Sophie and Edward’s son James is Earl of Wessex - his fathers title before became he Duke of Edinburgh.

“He became” oops!

It was not dirty. I think anyone would notice they were wearing dirty white gloves.. All were all immaculately turned out.

I hadn’t noticed but now looking at pictures in the newspaper., yes, his glove was dirty. I think from holding the wreath. Can’t say it bothers me.

If his handsome equerry bloke gets the sack I'll willingly take him on.

I envy people who have the headspace for this sort of thing.

Oh no! What is the world coming to!?

Strange thread but here goes. The King's wreath is edged with black leaves. Might it have come from there when he laid the wreath?

I also felt sad that heroism in the line of duty wasn’t well represented by the RF today. Prince Edward wasn’t able to complete his training as a Royal Marine Commando ….. the two men who had contributed to the armed forces were of course absent.

William served in all three armed forces.

I meant on active duty as in the line of fire. Jane43.

I've just seen that bit of the YouTube video. I can't stand Charlie, but I don't think he would have knowingly worn a dirty glove for such an occasion, and his dressers would have noticed it.

It looks like light angles to me.

Actually misquoted but never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Robin202 it’s disgusting to post details of others emails, whether you’re a journalist or not.
But that’s how you are . . .

Anniebach Mon 10-Nov-25 09:41:25

No text sent by Charles to Camilla ever reported so how can it be quoted?
