Queen Victoria in a pony cart w/ Highlander leading...
I posted this in the media section here with questions asked about it that we can discuss over there.
Since this is a historical vintage film (reputed to be at Balmoral circa 1896...though I question if its not in fact earlier), I thought it most appropriate to share in this gallery as well.
Enjoy!
The first sequence shows her in a carriage at Balmoral in 1896, surrounded by her grandson, later George V, and various other courtiers, including Indian dignitaries or perhaps household staff.
There is a partial glimpse of a Highlander leading the horse of the carriage -
The second shows the queen riding down Pall Mall in a carriage with perhaps the later Queen Mary and Kings George V during her Jubilee Celebrations of 1897.
Here, first, are three stills captured from the video (note another kilted Highlander in the background, you will see either him again or a 3rd kilted gentleman following the pony cart towards the end of the first film):
