Aussie royalty getting a wriggle on.

We were driving up to Donegal yesterday. On a clear stretch of road just short of Limivady I saw blue lights coming our way in a hurry. Rows of motorcycle outriders drew level with us and thrashed passed us with sirens blasting. Then came limos, and in one of them sat the King and Queen of Australia looking bored. No crowns, no thrones, just a grumpy looking couple well into their seventies burning up the highway like Bonnie and Clyde being brought in.

That must have been a surreal moment! Royalty speeding by like they’re late for a meeting, looking less than thrilled—definitely not the grand image most people imagine. Guess even kings and queens have their off days!

I was going to ask - who are the King and Queen of Australia? I guess you're meaning Charles and Camilla.

@judyev Indeed. What an odd arrangement.

It is odd to learn that the King and Queen of Australia seemed unhappy on a highway.

“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,” comes to mind.
