The royals’ visual greatest hits
WASN’T the royal christening eccentric? Royalty is all about tradition, obviously. But wheeling the baby princess out in the same Millson pram used for her great uncles Edward and Andrew half a century previously? And meanwhile dressing her older brother in the same costume her father wore when he was a toddler visiting her uncle in hospital? It’s royal ceremony as collage or selfquotation: a time-travel accident, or a visual greatest-hits album. Actually, sor t of funny and sor t of wonderful.
