As a part of the celebrations, a parade was organized in the city with the Gold State Coach being the centre of attraction. The golden carriage was seen on the streets of London with all fanfare. Now, you would expect the Queen, herself, to be in the chariot. But actually, it was a hologram inside the carriage which was led by white horses on the streets of London.
So a hologram of the queen drove through London in a golden carriage today. And people waved at it. They waved at a hologram. pic.twitter.com/hxRFzFp2N7

Twitteratis were quick to spot this and what followed was a royal barrage of memes and jokes. Some said even the Queen approves remote work, while others compared it to an NFT.
I mean, the whole royal family could profitably be replaced by holograms from now on.

When you see someone wave, you wave back. It’s like when you say thank you to automatic doors.

So the waving is the insane part?

Not the many thousands of pounds spent to parade the hologram through the streets?
