“DID YOU SEE WHAT I SAW”?: the Rolls Royce of Diana, Princess of Wales

Filed under: Automobile — tmooresr @ 12:09 pm

This afternoon, Maureen and I were on our way to the Duke of Edinburgh’s green grocer’s shop on the Windsor Estate to find some wonderful organic vegetables.  We were stuck in traffic when I looked at the car next to our vehicle.  It was a fabulous Rolls Royce.  Since we were stopped in traffic, I started a conversation–usual.  Then I noted the flag insets on the car, so I knew this once belonged to an important person who flew a personal standard.  The driver knew I was keen about the car.  He said it belonged to Diana Princess of Wales.  I grabbed my camera and was very unhappy when the traffic began to move.  I did get a photo of the standard inset and the gilt hood ornament.  The car was spotless and in magnificent condition.  What a fun moment.  Nice
