Well the last week was chock-ablock with royal things...
June 18-27th Royal Ascot, one of Queen Elizabeth II's favourite annual fixtures in her calendar...
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and her husband the king were guests of honour of the Queen... and traveled in the landau to open Ascot...
the landau royal entrances are a highlight of the dressed up races with lots of amazing hats...
June 20th marked the 187th anniversary of the ascension of Victoria to the throne on the death of her uncle King William when she was 18....
June 21st was Prince William, Duke of Cambridge's 37th birthday....
A Wedgwood jasperware dish made for the birth in 1982...
June 22, 1911 was the date of the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary, Great great grandparents of William...
Shelley coronation mug from 1911...
June 23, 1897 was Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. She dies in 1901.
Royal Crown Derby thimbles for the anniversary of the coronation in 1987 on my saucer of a teacup my grandmother got at the 1897 Diamond Jubilee and gifted to me by her...
And I recently found a Rosina, Queens bone china teapot celebrating the 1977 Silver Jubilee of 25 years on the throne for Queen Elizabeth II.
The Julidee Year of 1977 culminated in Jubilee Days from June 6th to 20th.
Definitely a month of royal dates!
And I didn't even list them all!
