PrincessAnne steals the show on horseback during coronation procession
Unlike other women who attended, and even took part in the ceremony, Anne, 72, was dressed in a uniform with military regalia. The princess royal had an important role in the ceremony, which royal watchers had the chance to see her fulfill after the service.
Anne, who was the Gold-Stick-in-Waiting, rode horseback behind the new king and his queen, Camilla, as they rode in the Gold State Coach from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace. The Gold-Stick-in-Waiting, along with the Silver-Stick-in-Waiting position, were created to protect the royals from harm.Once the procession was over, Anne made another appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
“I have a role as the Colonel of the Blues and Royals in the Household Cavalry regiment as Gold Stick [in Waiting]. And Gold Stick was the original close protection officer. So that is a role I was asked if I’d like to do for this coronation, so I said yes,” Anne said during an interview withAnne wasn’t the only royal with a special job. Prince William had a memorable moment in the ceremony as he — the future heir — pledged his allegiance to this father.
Although the actual anointment during the coronation ceremony was not broadcast publicly, plenty of special programming and footage from the ceremony is available to watch on CBS and Paramount+. Audiences
