The Queen’s posy that tempted a pony
WHEN meeting the monarch, etiquette would dictate that her subjects present her with a gift, not the other way around.
Unfortunately, that nicety appeared lost on Cruachan IV yesterday. The Shetland pony, a mascot to the Royal Regiment of Scotland, had a cheeky nibble on the Queen’s flowers when she visited Stirling Castle to mark 70 years since she was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen was dressed in a pink Mulberry silk coat, a silk dress in similar shades and a matching hat by London milliner Rachel Trevor-Morgan.
