62-Gun Salute

Welcome to the world, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana...here is your 62-gun salute! I am sure the latest addition to the Royal family was thankfully tucked quite far away so as not to go tone-deaf, but this is an age-old tradition...wish I had went now. I was just wondering why it was a 62 gun-salute, and not a 21-gun one, at the Tower of London and Hyde Park. Here is the recipe for the gun salute:  apparently 21 is basic, add another 20 because the Tower is a palace and a fort and Hyde Park is a Royal Park, and add another 21 for the City of London.

Erm...this is embarrassing...I can't recall her surname, but I am pretty sure her title would be Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge! I think Diana was a nice way to keep the little princess's  late grandmother's memory alive...
