Today is a public holiday in the Bailiwick of Guernsey to mark the visit of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. It is his first visit as King, and first to the bailiwick since 2012. The royal couple is also visiting the Bailiwick of Jersey. Guernsey and Jersey are self-governing dependencies of the British Crown but are not a part of the United Kingdom. The governments of the bailiwicks variously define the the position of the King of England as ‘head of state’ or ‘successor to the Duke of Normandy). The islands were a part of the Duchy of Normandy until 1204.
The King and Queen were presented with various gifts including seven Jersey heifers and locally-laid duck eggs. The duck eggs were an update to an 800-year-old custom of giving two dead ducks on a silver platter to the monarch.
Pamela Bell, La Dame de la Trinité, presented the eggs to the King

The internet is fascinating. I can type something and thousands of miles away someone is offended by it. It’s kind of magical.
Welcome to adulthood, where you get irritated when they rearrange the grocery store.
