A spot check by the Department of transport Vehicle Loveliness Authorities during a midnight rehearsal of the parade from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace found the carriage had bald tyres and no turn indicators.
The carriage was put on a low-loader and taken away for further checks. None of the King’s horses and none of the King’s men were able to say when the carriage was last sent for an MoT.
The Royal family have accused members of the Royal family of 'palace blocking', leading to gold plated royal coaches being parked up outside palaces for up to 40 hours.
'One cannot occupy a 60 room palace when one's brother and ex-wife, or one's ginger-haired grandson are still in residence,' said an anonymous insider today.
Palace blocking is thought to be linked to Royal List payments. 'It's all very well the country standing on their doorsteps clapping as one is driven past, waving,' said the anonymous source, 'but that doesn't pay one's bills. It's no wonder one is reduced to serving quiche at one's coronation banquet,' he added.
