Prince Philip’s death has shaken the nation as it reflects on his life and celebrating his achievements. Events like his wedding to the Queen in 1947, the time he served in the Royal Navy, and the Obamas when they visited London. One memory that brings many memories is the chuckle both their majesties shared one day in 2003. The truth is they were surprised by a swarm of bees that came into the royal grounds before the queen reviews the Battalion Grenadier Guards. It was a moment that truly humanized them. The beekeeper was then called on to remove all the bees from the premises, but unfortunate one stung the retired sergeant major in the forehead. This moment like so many others being shared right now that humanizes and modernizes the royal family. It’s a powerful reminder of the family dynamics and hold they still have over the worlds dynamic.
