There have been many royal related films
released over the years. I have listed below my top five royal
associated films. The King’s Speech: The 2010 film starred Colin
Firth as King George VI who struggles with his speech impediment
and receives help from an Australian speech therapist who
provides vital assistance in preparing the nervous King before his
first wartime radio broadcast…
The Queen’s Christmas Message, broadcast
on television, radio, and the internet on Christmas Day, is a
staple of the royal calendar. It is a tradition started by her
grandfather, King George V and continued by her father, King George
VI via radio broadcast. It wasn’t…
Queen Elizabeth has undertaken 94
official State Visits during her reign, plus two State Visits in
her capacity as Queen of Canada (she visited the United States
twice in the ‘50s). A State Visit is when a foreign head of state
is invited to visit a country by that…
I have long been advocating for more
books to be written in English about the royals of mainland Europe,
so I was thrilled to hear about and read Darling Queen – Dear Old
Bones: Queen Wilhelmina’s correspondence with her English
governess Miss Saxton Winter by Emerentia van Heuven-van
Nes and published by Amsterdam University Press. It was
initially printed in Dutch several years ago…
2017 has been an exciting year for
feminism. Women have supported each other as many brave ladies (and
some men) have found their voices against their abusers, New
Zealand’s new Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, is only
37-years-old, and Saudi Arabia is finally allowing…
Royal Central’s Editor-in-Chief, Charlie
Proctor, was on the ground in Nottingham on Friday for Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle’s first official engagement together. He says
that Ms Markle was a natural with the crowds, and will be a
tremendous asset to The Royal…
It hasn’t yet been a full 24 hours since
the news broke that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged.
People are already breaking into ‘Camp Kate’ and ‘Camp Meghan’. I
like both and will never choose a favourite. This was bound to
happen. Are we to spend years now comparing Meghan to Kate and vice
versa? Are people now going to become overly critical of Meghan?
Undoubtedly, the engagement announcement
between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has taken the world and
royal watchers by storm. What about the Royal Family? According to
some, the engagement and impending marriage have shaken up the
monarchy. Yes, Meghan is of mixed race…
Our Europe Correspondent, Heaven
LeeMiller, defends those who research the style of the royals and
report on them. Over the past few months, a lot of accusations have
been thrown online and mostly on social media about royal fashion
bloggers. The most recurring one is that…
Royal Central’s Deputy Editor, Jamie
Samhan, gives her opinion on why it would difficult to be
royal. Remember when you were growing up and you wanted to be
a dolphin trainer, or a lawyer, or a police officer, or
an astronaut? Now imagine not having that choice, not being
able to decide where you wanted your life to head. That merely
sums up as the life of a member of the Royal Family. I…
