Royal Chopper Grounded by Mother Nature

So much for a smooth royal flyover. Princess Anne’s plans to bless a hospital with her presence were literally blown off course. Brutal weather decided the Princess Royal’s helicopter was staying put, canceling her trip to the North East.

Because even royals can’t argue with the wind. One imagines the frustration… the meticulously planned schedule, the waiting dignitaries, all scuppered by a bit of bad British weather.

It’s been a week for the Windsors, hasn’t it? Between this and everything else, the family calendar is looking… chaotic. Will the Princess reschedule, or is this a sign of more disruptions to come? The forecast, both meteorological and royal, remains unsettled.
