WHAT DOES GOLD STICK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gold Stick

Gold Stick and Silver Stick

The Gold Stick and the Silver Stick are bodyguard positions in the British Royal Household, personal attendants to the Sovereign on ceremonial occasions. Although this protocol is now only used in ceremonial events, the Office of Gold Stick dates from Tudor times, when two Officers were placed close to the Sovereign's person to protect him or her from danger. The Office is held jointly by the Colonels of the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals, both being Regiments of the Household Cavalry of the Household Division. The Gold Sticks, of whom one at any time is on duty as Gold Stick-in-Waiting, were originally entrusted with the personal safety of the Sovereign. Since the reign of Queen Victoria these Officers' duties have been mainly ceremonial; they attend all State occasions and take part in the processions for the Coronation and the State Opening of Parliament. On these occasions Gold Stick conveys the Sovereign's orders to the Household Cavalry. The name derives from the staff of office, which has a gold head. The current Colonel of the Blues and Royals is HRH the Princess Royal, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II.
