Stampede and a Princess!


Back in July 2011 I was supposed to travel to Ottawa to meet the prince and princess, but due to the recent changes in life I was actually out west training for my new job on Canada Day, the day I was supposed to be in the nation’s capital hanging with the royals.


But luckily for me Princess Kate and Prince William made their way out west to Calgary Alberta for the Calgary Stampede and I just knew I had to go and make up for my missed opportunities after all they were expecting me right?! Ha Ha


This time the timing was perfect, I had finished all my training and had the day of the opening cermonies for the stampede off so I headed downtown with a co-worker and saw the parade that they were to host.


Now as you can imagine security was crazy intense because of the royals but with a wee bit of sweet talking and batting of the eyes I managed to convince a police officer to tell me which road they would be arriving on for their final drive around. Needless to say my camera was out ready and zoomed in. I managed to get a picture of Princess Kate in the car but you do have to look closely to see her waving at me, which is perfectly ok with me since there was only me and my friend on that road that they actually BOTH waved at me. It’s funny because I certainly do not get “star struck” BUT it’s the PRINCE AND PRINCESS I was pretty excited.


Ok enough of me going on and on here’s some picture lemme know what you think :)
