A Royal walkabout allows the Royals to interact and be seen by the public. Walkabout usually happens on Royal tours or "away days," where the Royal has a day of engagements in a city.
Interactions between the Royal and individuals are usually very quick and brief as there may be hundreds, or thousands, of people to meet in a relatively short time. The royal must constantly be moving along.
Writing Prompt:
Write a scene about a Royal walkabout (3-5 pages):
- Feel free to write the scene from the prospective of anyone at the walkabout.
- Think about how all the different characters are interacting: The Royal, members of the Royal & organization's staff, police, bodyguards, journalists, photographers, members of the public, etc.
- Include 3+ separate conversations with different people.
- Describe what happened either right before or after the walkabout. How as the mood changed when the Royal is present or not?
If you would like to you can take this writing prompt a step further:
- Try writing some tweets from a journalist or member of the public about what happened on the walkabout. Include some extra information that wasn't in your walkabout scene.
