This golden carriage is impressively regal, but only until one actually gets in.
Sure, the gilded carved cherubs gleam in the weak spring sunshine, and the plush blue velvet curtains are perfectly draped to avoid the nosy hoi polloi from peeking in, but the inside is cramped and smells distinctly of horses.
This pretender to the throne isn’t complaining though, as I’m about to experience part of the journey King Charles III and Queen Camilla will take on Saturday on their way to the Coronation at Westminster Abbey.
