Visits

  • Queen Camilla is a consummate performer

    The Royal visit to Rome brought out two aspects of the current Monarchy in full view.

    First, it shows a dominant King that knows his realm and understands the purposes of many international things.

    Second, it shows Queen Camilla is able to hold her own even in a slow, male-led environment.

    She looked the part as the Vatican loomed large over her. She took her place and held it as an English Queen should.

    It was a moment dedicated to friendship but also Royal ways. The Queen is a strong leader and advocate for a modern outreach.

  • Onsite: Westminster Bridge, London

    A walk down memory lane, or a stroll across Westminster Bridge? It’s the same difference to the people who take to it each year. The bridge overlooking Parliament, on the side of the London Eye, is a popular spot to have a photo taken, with Elizabeth Tower and the famed houses of our democracy poking out behind you.

    There isn’t a dull moment in which to do it – or time of day, for that matter. It’s equally brilliant lit up at night. The bell tolls, and folks just along the street also adjust their cameras to get their face in the frame. It’s a remarkable feat of Victorian engineering, a stunning backdrop for the city, and a real draw for eager visitors.
