There were more cheeky antics from Prince George Princess Charlotte – who stuck their tongues out and pressed their faces up against the windows at the Palace just as they did last year.
乔治王子和夏洛特公主做了很多滑稽可爱的工作，他们伸出舌头，把脸贴在宫殿的窗户上，就像去年一样。

英国君主官方庆生典礼 —— “Trooping the Colour”的传统已经超过250年。
The custom of Trooping the Colour dates back to the time of Charles II in the 17th. Century when the Colours of a regiment were used as a rallying point in battle and were therefore trooped in front of the soldiers every day to make sure that every man could recognise those of his own regiment.
英国君主官方庆生典礼 —— “Trooping the Colour”最早可以追溯至17世纪的查理二世时期。在当时，为了让士兵能辨别自己所在的兵团，避免混乱，每个兵团的制服于是就有了自己的颜色。
The first traceable mention of The Sovereign’s Birthday being ‘kept’ by the Grenadier Guards is in 1748 and again, after George III became King in 1760, it was ordered that parades should mark the King’s Birthday. From the accession of George IV they became, with a few exceptions and notably the two World Wars, an annual event.
在英国，最早关于君主庆生的记录是在1748年。后来从乔治四世登基之后，“Trooping the Colour”成了年度活动，除了两次世界大战期间，基本上年年都会举办。

但是对于这样华丽丽的活动，英国民众却看法不一。
反对的人认为太铺张浪费：
@ban_cash We’re paying for the lot. Far far too many
都是我们出的钱，我们在这上面花的钱太多了。
@Terry_ Collier.Not one Windsor has a job. Unless you call waving and smiling employment.
没有一个“温莎党”（指皇室成员）是自己工作的，除非你认为摇摇手和微笑就是工作了。
@Fofofofofo To think the working poorer are still paying for these millionaires! Remind me of what century we are living in!
想想穷人要为这些百万富翁付钱，我们生活在中世纪吗！
支持的人认为王室成员可以带来可观的收入：
@nuffsenuff You obviously have no idea how many billions things like this bring to our economy.
@nuffsenuff你显然不知道有多少这样的典礼可以给我们的经济带来什么。
嗯你怎么看呢？
