"Equerry: A Royal Connection Through Time" From the regal image of King George V on horseback in Hyde Park, London to the elegant Queens Bargemaster and Watermen accompanying Queen Victoria's grand procession, the role of an equerry has long been intertwined with royalty. In a celebration of love and tradition, Lady Alexandra Curzon exchanged vows with Major E. D (Fruity) Metcalfe, while Mike Parker faithfully served as equerry to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. These moments capture the essence of loyalty and dedication that define this esteemed position. The captivating portrait of Major Fruity Metcalfe by Hynes showcases his distinguished presence as an equerry. Similarly, Captain G Middleton's photograph from the late 19th century transports us back in time when equerries played vital roles in royal affairs. Onboard the Britannia, we witness King George alongside Sir Charles Cust - a testament to their trusted relationship with their respective equerries. The bond between monarchs and their loyal companions is beautifully depicted here. Not only limited to British royalty, but also extending across borders; Minoru (Derby and 2000 Guineas winner), immortalized by WW Rouch's artwork reminds us that even champions can rely on their faithful equerries for support. Captain George Londsay Holford shines brightly in a color lithograph capturing his noble spirit as an equerry. Meanwhile, Colonel Fleury stands tall as First Equerry to the Emperor of France - showcasing how this role transcends national boundaries. The Royal Huntsmen accompanied by Yeoman Prickers and Foresters exemplify another facet of an equerry's duties - maintaining order during hunts. Their expertise ensures smooth operations within these prestigious events. Lastly, we are enchanted by the Mounted Band of Household led by none other than Her Majesty's Queens Equerry himself. This harmonious ensemble adds a touch of elegance to royal ceremonies, leaving a lasting impression on all who witness their performance.
