103rd Rose Queen Announcement & Coronation – Tuesday, October 26, 2021

PASADENA, Calif. (October 4, 2021) – Today, the Tournament of Roses® announced the seven members of the 2022 Royal Court presented by Citizens Business Bank. Members of the 2022 Royal Court will serve as ambassadors of the Tournament of Roses, the Pasadena community and the greater Los Angeles area, and will each receive a $7,500 educational scholarship. The Rose Queen® and Royal Court are iconic traditions, steeped in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses’ history and continue as a treasured legacy.

Applicants from 24 Pasadena area schools participated in the interview process, and volunteer members of the Tournament of Roses’ Queen and Court Committee selected the Royal Court based on several criteria, including public speaking ability, academic achievement, youth leadership; and community and school involvement.

Royal Court members experience countless benefits; becoming part of an organization dedicated to hands-on volunteerism, discovering opportunities to connect with and give back to the local community, developing public speaking skills and growing self-confidence.

The 2022 Royal Court will ride down Colorado Blvd. on the Royal Court float in the 133rd Rose Parade® presented by Honda and attend the 108th Rose Bowl Game®, both on Saturday, January 1, 2022.

The seven members of the 2022 Royal Court are (in alphabetical order):

Jeannine Briggs
Nadia Chung
Ava Feldman
Abigail Griffith
Swetha Somasundaram
McKenzie Street
Jaeda Walden
