Elizabeth II

Monarchs in the procession of the Knights of the Garter





The British royal family, headed by Queen Elizabeth II took part in the annual procession of the Order of Knights of the Garter - the oldest British order of knights.

Solemn procession passed as usual near Windsor Castle. From there, the procession started, within which were Her Majesty, Prince Charles, William, Edward and Andrew, and Princess Anne, Duchess of Wessex Sophie and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall. There was not enough unless Prince Harry (but it is not yet knighted), and of course, the Duchess Catherine (her special reason - just about to light should appear heir to the royal throne).

Himself Order of the Garter was established back in 1348 by King Edward III. An important detail - the Knights of the Garter may be only 25, including the queen. New knights appear as leaving the old life. Dedication is the very day of the solemn procession.
