The Royal Family Attends the Braemar Games 1967

At 0:22 the dear family arrive. I don't know why Princess Anne wore a Pan Am uniform to the games this year, but the Queen's Tam 'o Shanter was as quaint as the Princes' kilts. Note the adoring paupers impaled on the gorse bushes (0:33) and the presiding gentry in "His 'n Hers" tartan all-in-ones (0:34 - left of screen); Dearest Margot arrives in mauve plaid and a delicious flower pot hat (0:35 - right of screen) with that brat Linley snapping at her heels, sizing up anything he thinks he can sell, even at that early age. And here at 0:41 we have the famous Legs Akimbo Dancers, from which my darling brother Egremont (the current Earl, then aged 12) was disqualified for "undisclosed activities" but at as we see at 0:52 he did his own performance anyway. He always loved being in front of the camera, like Dads, and as we know now all of us paid the price for this family hobby years later. At 0:58 we see darling Mummy and Dads, keeled over in the gorse bushes, keeping an eye on him after he had been placed in their supervision (which only made matters worse). They'd given their Scotch egg sandwiches to the greedy paupers but they were doing well with a flask of Grouse. At 1:06 we see the Braemar adulterer Bill Anderson's winning swing (1:06); he later collected the Swinger's Cup from Princess Margaret which she donated to the games every year after intense judging sessions that went on for days and interrupted her three way bridge, much to Tony's annoyance. At 1:17 the RAF and 23rd FIeld Ambulance Team tug together. Dads wanted to give a hand to the Ambulance team but Mummy pulled the RAF on the other side, and ended up coming first! At 1:30 we see Dads looking happy at the climax, then Her Majesty gives the RAF their trophy, closely observed by creepy Cousin Valdek (on the right), and thoroughly ignored by the entire Royal Family (on the left and to the rear). After all this excitement the racy Bill Anderson kept on tossing his caber (01:36). Everyone had had enough, but he just kept tossing it until Big Bill Bangit from the USA threw his all over the place (01:47), captivating my little brother Egremont (01:53) who was studying form. Such happy, simple pleasures in the Highlands. Mummy always said it was awfully good for her complexion!
