June 2 is the beginning of the "Golden Jubilee Celebration" of the 50th anniversary of the Queen of England's accession to the throne.
Because it is Sunday, more people have time to participate in such a national carnival. According to the latest data, about one-third of British people will participate in various celebrations in this celebration.
When Barron came out of the apartment, he saw the streets and alleys of London all the way, with British flags flying everywhere.
The British, who were a little reserved on weekdays, began to hold various parties and open-air dances on the street in an abnormal and extremely wild way.
Interestingly, during this celebration, many shops in England announced that they would sell all kinds of goods to people at the price of the Queen's accession to the throne in 1952, which can be said to be a very successful commercial promotion.
Today, Barron is about to participate in a thank-you event initiated by the royal family. After the event, a grand open-air classical concert will be held outside Buckingham Palace.
In fact, after yesterday's meeting with the Queen, Barron had no expectations for the idea of seeking help for the family crisis in this royal social event.
However, as the future Duke of England, it is also necessary to have more social activities.
And at today's open-air classical concert, it can be said that the world's most well-known classical and pop musicians and singers will come here to celebrate the Queen, so even as an entertainment event, it is worth visiting.
Baron's predecessor, as the second son of the duke's family, did not carry out some aristocratic learning and training from an early age like his brother. On the one hand, because of his identity as the second son, it is generally unnecessary; of course, it is also related to his personality that he and his brother are very different.
Therefore, in the memory of Barron's predecessor, most of the impressions of other noble families are only about the younger generation - such as which girl is more beautiful and sexy...
Because of this, after arriving at Buckingham Palace, he met many nobles and celebrities, and Barron took a lot of effort to remember the identity of the other party.
What makes him happy is that since he came to this time and space, he has gradually got used to better memory and faster thinking ability than his previous life and predecessor. Therefore, he can be said to be unforgettable at this time. On the contrary, he is proficient in remembering the workload of name, title and identity. .
"Hello, Lord Barron, I'm Ian Bute from the Bute family. This is my wife, Cris."
Just as Barron began to socialize, a middle-aged man in a straight suit came to him with a lady in a light yellow dress and a temperamental lady and greeted him.
It should be explained here that in England, there are also specific rules for the name of nobles.
In England, the aristocracy is divided into hereditary aristocracy and lifelong aristocracy. The so-called hereditary aristocracy is a title that can be passed on to the next generation, including viscount, count, marquis and duke; while lifelong aristocrats can only be awarded to one person and cannot be inherited, just like a baron.
Among them, the duke and duchess are honored as "Grace", and nobles below the duke, including marquis, counts, viscounts and barons, can be called "Lord".
Therefore, at this time, although Baron was the only heir of the Duke of Devin Hill's family, he had not yet been crowned, so other people called him Lord when they called him.
Just like Ian Butt in front of him at this time. After introduction, Barron knew that his father was a count. At this time, the other party, who was the first heir of the family, also had the title of viscount.
At the same time, he also owns a real estate company and carries out real estate projects in many parts of England. It seems that the company is not small.
"I was deeply sad to hear the bad news of the old duke before..."
Hearing the words of Viscount Bute, Barron's eyes swept over the face of the other party and his wife:
"Lord Ian, did you know your father before?"
"Yes, I also talked to your derder about a cooperation, that is, the Victorian gas tank renovation plan of King's Cross in London... At that time, the old duke was still very interested in it, but he was busy with other things at that time, so he was temporarily delayed..."
Barron still has a vague impression of the place mentioned by the other party. He should have seen it in the asset directory of the family trust fund, but after all, there are too many items in that directory, and he will not have a deep understanding of it, so he said to Ian at this time:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lord, you know that our family has too many things to deal with recently, so I need to go back and ask about what you mentioned."
"I have a perfect understanding of this. In fact, this time I'm going to give another plan, that is, we will directly buy the land of the gas storage tank and transform and develop it by ourselves, so that you can immediately recover a lot of money and use it to make up for the loss..."
The Viscount Bout said to Barron sincerely:
"Of course, I'm afraid it's not a good time to talk about it in detail. This is my business card. You can contact me for details later."
"Okay, Your Excellency."
...
After saying goodbye to each other for a while, Barron met the Prince of Wales and the two princes next to him.
The Prince of Wales showed enthusiasm and introduced both of them.
Among the two princes, his brother William is two years younger than Barron, and now he is studying at the University of St. Andrews... Barron also talked with each other about the university's courses. He can't see that there was a story with Kaiser before - before, he specially found some relevant reports, which seemed that Cather and William, At this time, the relationship has not been officially confirmed.
Another Prince Harry, who will be more rebellious in the future, looks a little shy at this time. He is studying in high school at the most famous Eaton School in England, and is also familiar with Barron.
Next, everyone began to move to the square outside Buckingham Palace to attend the open-air classical concert to be held here.
The concert included 18 members of the royal family, as well as many nobles and social celebrities, as well as other people who came, with a total audience of 12,000.
Before that, Barron heard that the preparation of this concert took two years and cost a lot of money.
It can be said that the first-class stars and artists from Britain, the United States and other countries have come here to perform on the stage to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne.
In addition to the audience, as many as 40,000 people gathered outside Buckingham Palace to watch the star-studded party through the giant screen.
I have to say that the feeling of being at the scene in person is still very good - except for the daughter of a certain duke sitting next to Barron, who persistently invited herself to the party she initiated many times, or "go out to play together"...
