🐴 Today The King visited the iconic Douglas Bay Horse Tramway, which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. His Majesty took a ride on the oldest horse-drawn passenger tramway still operating during a day of engagements on the Isle of Man.
❓Did you know that The King goes by the title ‘Lord of Mann’ when he’s on the Isle of Man? The ancient title is held by him as the island’s Head of State.
Det är oerhört fint med dessa gamla trotjänare som fortsätter döma långt efter pensionen. För domstols-Sverige är återväxten ett makroproblem men pensionärerna som pitchar in för att de vill fortsätta eller av plikt hedrar domarkåren https://t.co/zTy7MovP3l
Is there any plan, project, or engagement undertaken by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that doesn’t boil over into chaos?
Read on Fresh Hell about the sturm and drang over their visit next week to the UK.

The horses in The Royal Mews have been practicing and preparing for today’s State Opening of Parliament. 🐴
It is a tradition for The King and Queen travel to the Palace of Westminster in a State Coach, escorted by the Household Cavalry. The Imperial State Crown and Regalia travels in front of The King in a carriage of its own.
Runnymede, Echo, Maple, Newark and Knightsbridge are just some of the horses taking part today. Cared for by The Royal Mews, they can usually be found enjoying the grounds of Windsor!
I think "fun socks" should be used judiciously, as a lot of what's worn today feels more childish than whimsical. IMO, most men should avoid them entirely.
But if you insist on wearing them, here are some suggestions on how to make them look less bad. 🧵
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden began his visit to Ukraine by honoring our fallen warriors together with me. We are deeply grateful for this gesture of respect.
The memory of each and every one of them is very important to us – the defenders of Ukraine who fought against Russian aggression. They fought not only for our country, but also for the protection of all of Europe, so that Russian madness and killing would not spread further.
Eternal memory to our fallen heroes!
