Do we know if Jonathan McHunk is single? What if he is her toy boy? Tbh I find that idea satisfying. Now that the Harkles are so boring and the show trial over, need a new scandal to entertain...

The truth about Queen Victoria's relationship with John Brown

Julia Baird shocked historians in 2014 when she revealed new evidence she had uncovered for her Queen Victoria biography: evidence of the queen's relationship with her servant. British Heritage Travel spoke to the author about her meticulous research and “the world’s most powerful working woman."

Wow this sounds delicious, @pukasonqo.

If I were Camilla, I'd instruct all staff to wear kilt 24/7

Good morning (my time!) I just discovered this wonderful thread yesterday and joined to comment Major Johnny’s symmetrical face is extremely pleasant to look at and, because his uniform is so distinctive, he is easy to spot on the many, many occasions when he’s accompanying Prince Charles or Camilla (when Charles is filling in for the Queen as he’s done a lot recently! At the Commonwealth Day service he sat directly behind Will and Kate so that was nice and the service itself was rather lovely so I recommend checking that out on YouTube.) The interesting thing to me is that on all these other occasions, he looks occasionally very serious, befitting the occasion, but nowhere else besides the Platinum Jubilee is he giving off those “I could kill you with my thumb” vibes that he was giving Harry. I think he doesn’t like the guy.
Also here is a shot of Major Johnny in his kilt to be in the spirit of the thread.

Each year Her Majesty spends a week visiting different parts of Scotland, meeting people from all walks of life and hosting thousands at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Known in Scotland as 'Royal Week' and elsewhere as 'Holyrood Week', it’s a chance for The Queen to engage with many people who have made invaluable commitments to good causes and the community, as well as highlight the culture and traditions of Scotland.
For the Army in Scotland, it’s a hugely significant as well as a busy time for supporting their Commander in Chief both in practical and ceremonial preparations.

The arrival expected on Monday 27 June will begin with a Gun Salute from the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle coinciding with a formal military parade and mounting of the Guards of Honour at both the Castle and Holyrood for the ancient tradition of the Ceremony of the Keys when Her Majesty is welcomed by the Lord Provost and she receives the keys to the city.

Rehearsals are already underway involving soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland as well as The Royal Company of Archers, which have been available since 1822 as a personal bodyguard to The Sovereign anywhere in Scotland.

Military musicians play a huge part throughout Royal Week, not only with the parades and Guard Mounting, but also for garden parties and investitures. This year will also play a huge role in this year's Thistle Service when knights of the Ancient Order of The Thistle gather at St Giles for a service on Thursday 30 June.

In past years, Her Majesty has also travelled widely in Scotland during Royal Week – this has included visits to a housing development for veterans, seeing children at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow and opening a technology and innovation centre at Strathclyde University.

Alas, Major Johnny was off being Prince Charles’s equerry (still not sure what the job involves other than hanging out being hot in the background!) in Rwanda for the Commonwealth Heads of Governmenr meeting, where Prince Charles was representing the Queen.

He was there with her in 2018 though. https://www.royal.uk/holyrood-week-2018

(I love the queen’s bright yellow coat!)
