That was NOT right. It was a travesty. It was a disgrace. It just wasn’t cricket.
We have British hearses — even Rolls-Royce hearses. Yes, I know that Rolls-Royce is now German owned, BUT the name, heritage & association will always be indelibly British.
Note that one of the Queen’s Rolls-Royces is following the hearse. So, wouldn’t it have been nice to have a British, i.e., Rolls-Royce, hearse.
The Queen, when in the U.K., was invariably in a ‘British’ vehicle — she particularly fond of Land- & Range-Rovers.
This was NOT right.
In 2018, after the ‘Harry & Meghan‘ wedding I wrote the The Palace to complain that the William & Harry had arrived in Windsor in the Mercedes van. I asked the Palace to make sure that this would not happen again. They did reply in a letter.
Well, I am disappointed & annoyed. We are supposed to excel in the DETAIL when it comes to pomp & ceremony. This was a POOR SHOW.
No doubt, some of the blame must be placed with the SHAMELESS undertaker ‘William Purves’. See below. No class.
Yes, I appreciate that a FEW of you may want to point out that the Queen is of German ancestry! That is true. But, that was few generations ago.
