Why a spare shirt matters

Chamberlin suggested bringing a spare shirt in case of spills or one too many Pimm's, and Tindall ran with the idea, joking about an on-site laundry service — "The Spare Shirt Shop" — that could wash, press and return shirts between events.

Inside the royal procession

Tindall and his wife Zara, who are not working royals, often join the ceremonial procession alongside the king and other family members. He described travelling in historic state cars to the edge of the Great Park, a roughly 20-minute carriage route past schools where children wave flags, then turning onto the track as the anthem begins — a moment he called quite special.
