Who were the two people who were with Charles? The man looked like Tom Parker-Bowles, but am not sure.

From the articles I've read they were two Aides of his.

The woman walking with Charles looks like Penelope, the Countess of Mountbatten Burma, I could be wrong, it could be an aide. The gentleman I don't know so it could be an aide.

I thought Charles looked really well and happy to be there. I was surprised he shook hands with so many.

No one gave him flowers, but I don't think they ever do. I think he'd like some.

Not the countess. "Aide" is so blah. They've been using that term instead of equerry and lady-in-waiting.

Apparently someone has decided aide sounds less like a servant.

Oy! I don't think the "in waiting" titles sound like servants, but then I've read books and stuff.

I did read in an article once (Daily Mail? NOT a very good source for fact-checking) that mistook a Maid of Honor for an actual housemaid. I say again, Oy!

I've noticed that younger reporters sometimes don't know who people are. They will overlook a Royal in a crowd because the Royal isn't very popular and/or is seldom seen.
