#queen's jubilee

Hot take, but it isn't actually that impressive that Queen Elizabeth II has been reigning for 70 years, considering the fact that she is the first monarch in English history to have access to modern medicine, vaccines, hygiene, food and also never needed to attack an enemy on the frontline on horseback.
All I'm saying is that Ramses II reigned almost as long IN THE BC, having access to NONE of that while actually needing to attack his enemies on the frontlines on horseback (well, chariot to be precise).

My parents: *Discussing the Queen's Jubilee like, I presume, normal people would*
Me, internally, sweating: Don't say anything about the crabs, don't say anything about the crabs, don't...

Platinum Jubilee Silk Scarf, Westminster Abbey Shop, 2022
Designed with artist Rory Hutton, to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
The coronation chair forms the centre of the scarf's design, as the starting point of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. The martlets and oak leaves which originally decorated the coronation chair represent strength and nobility.
Surrounding the central motif are traditional symbols which are repeated throughout the architecture of Westminster Abbey - including the heraldic lion, the crown, the fleur-de-lis, the Tudor rose, the English rose, the Irish shamrock and the Scottish thistle. (No Welsh leek that I can see though!)

Really loving the Queen's Jubilee vibes on UK social media these days (yea, I do like their royal family esp the Queen). Also recently, I've been in a mood to watch some traditional British TV show with old, nostalgic vibes. I used to watch sooo many British shows, kinda wanna revisit those too 🇬🇧💂‍♀️
Edit: Ok, I really wanna watch Keeping Up Appearances but not sure where to find it. And though I consider period dramas and movies a very winter thing, Pride and Prejudice and some other Jane Austen stuff have more of a summer-y vibe so I'll try and watch these over the weekend.
