"Rex Royalty: 2024 Carnival Queen's Toast Skipped in Imperial Reception"

The Rex, King of Carnival, was unable to toast the Queen during the Mardi Gras parade as the parades rolled late, causing him to miss the traditional event. The delay also affected other krewes, with the truck parades following Rex continuing deep into the night. Despite the setback, Rex hopes to maintain its traditions and find positive ways to coexist on the parade route.
