Ammon News - Empress Masako of Japan slipped on an unexpected accessory on the first day of the state visit to the U.K. hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla.

On June 25, the Japanese empress wore a face mask that matched her white ensemble for the horse-drawn carriage ride following the ceremonial welcome at Horse Guards Parade which kicked off the trip. Once the group stepped inside Buckingham Palace for lunch and to browse items from the Royal Collection relating to Japan, Empress Masako removed the accessory.

There was a practical reason for wearing the mask outdoors: Empress Masako is allergic to horses, according to royal reporter Rebecca English of the Daily Mail.

The Empress isn't the only one to allegedly be affected by the horses during royal pageantry. Prince Louis, 6, had a hilarious reaction, apparently to the animals' smell, when he briefly held his nose during a carriage ride at Trooping the Colour in June 2023.
