PA Alarm Clock
Let’s admit it. When most of us hear our morning alarm, we hit the snooze button. The British monarch has no such luxury. Queen Elizabeth II was woken up every morning by a bagpipe player outside her window! King Charles now continues the tradition, which was started by Queen Victoria in 1843.
The monarch’s personal piper, officially known as the Sovereign’s Piper, is currently Major Paul Burns. His main duty is to play the bagpipes for 15 minutes at 9:00 am sharp, no exceptions. The Sovereign’s Piper travels with the King or Queen of England and plays whenever they are in residence in England or Scotland. Talk about a unique job!
