Charlie Proctor offers his opinion on why
Prince Henrik of Denmark needs to stop behaving so petulantly when
it comes to his title. Prince Henrik of Denmark has made the
headlines yet again after the Danish Royal Court announced on
Thursday that he refuses to be buried alongside his wife,
Queen Margrethe, over nothing more than a case of sour grapes.
The 83-year-old Prince is not happy that he is…
On Tuesday Princess Sofia of Sweden
attended her last known official engagement before her second child
is born in September. Their first child, Prince Alexander, was born
in April 2016. Prince Alexander’s full name is Alexander
Erik Hubertus Bertil, and in addition…
Charlie Proctor: It might sound trivial not wearing a seatbelt, but The Queen should lead by example
23rd June 2017
Twenty years ago, Diana, Princess of
Wales died in a catastrophic car crash in Paris – a moment that
shocked the world. It is widely believed that if Diana were wearing
her seatbelt at the time of the incident, she would have most
likely survived. So what seems even more…
Opinion: The Royal Family should speak out against the recent terrorist attacks
8th June 2017
The United Kingdom has been the scene of
a terrorist attack three times this year, and yet the British Royal
Family has remained largely quiet, leaving many wondering why. In
March a terrorist attack took place near the Palace of Westminster,
the seat of the British Parliament. Four people were killed, and
over 50 were injured when the attacker drove a car into pedestrians
on the pavement. A…
Each royal family has its own way of
dealing with the media. However, other European monarchies should
follow the example of the Swedish Royal Family when it comes to
their approach to the press. The Swedes are by far the most open
and friendly of the royal families to the…
The new pound coin in the UK bears an
image of the Queen’s head, surrounded by the words ‘ELIZABETH II
D.G.REG.F.D.’ It stands for: ‘Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fidei
Defensor.’ (‘Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of
the Faith.’ in…
Everything the Royals do or don’t do is
closely scrutinized by both the media and the public. The
Cambridges haven’t been without controversy. They’ve been dubbed
workshy and lazy. Even Prince Harry couldn’t escape that label when
his grandparents and father and stepmother worked more than his
brother, sister-in-law and him last year. The Duchess of Cambridge
was heavily…
Royal Central’s Editor talks about his
experience of moderating racist abuse against Meghan Markle, and
why it has to stop. It is February 2018, yet I find myself writing
a headline about why racism has to stop. Since the news emerged in
2016 that Harry and Meghan were…
President Trump hasn’t been in office for
two weeks, yet, he has caused controversy from the moment it was
announced he was running for the most powerful position in the
United States. Contention continues to follow him; particularly
among royals. Prince Harry is the…
This is an opinion piece by Royal
Central’s Benjamin Knights, and why he thinks it would be a grave
error to withdraw a State Visit invitation to Donald Trump. Nobody
can claim that Donald Trump’s first week as President of the United
States was not controversial. The billionaire property tycoon put
many of his unorthodox campaign pledges in action and signalled
that there would be no…
