All Things Royal

@GrenadaLoyalist This did not declare independence. It gave permission to Princess Margaret to open Jamaica's first independent parliament.

When Jamaica became independent in 1962, the Queen issued a stunning formal Royal Proclamation declaring independence. I have no idea if the same was done for other realms, such as Grenada. If so, I wonder where that proclamation is today. Sadly, cant find a higher quality image

@africatodayMG That is not The Queen and that is not Prince Philip. This photo has been debunked many times.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Late queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip bowed to no one until they met the Ethiopian Emperor, Haile Selassie 1 and his wife, Empress Menen Asfew. They are the only people they have ever bowed to as a Royal couple.

@hurley_sal84016 Men in the Royal Family usually do some sort of military training before gradually rising in the ranks and then getting honorary ranks from the Sovereign. Their medals are won through service. Some are military and some are orders of chivalry.

Meanwhile BRF wears their military uniform & fake medals as if they had fought wars left & right.
