One of the downsides to being royal are
the lack of privacy, media scrutiny, and paparazzi following their
every move. Each royal has their own way of dealing with these
things. I’ve often said to friends and coworkers that the Swedish
Royal Family has the best outlook and way to deal with the
intrusive paparazzi. However, Princess Madeleine – the youngest of
King Carl XVI Gustaf and…
All bets are on that Prince Harry will
tie the knot, or at least pop the question, to his girlfriend,
Meghan Markle in 2017. Yet, she is a most unconventional addition
to the British Royal Family. Currently, Buckingham Palace, Clarence
House and Kensington Palace run Twitter…

States, Donald J Trump, is expected to undertake his first State

The King Is Retired, Long Live the King! -- How Abdication is the Future of Monarchy
14th December 2016
I remember 2013 as being a very hectic
time for monarchists. Happily, it was the year where His Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge was born, thus seeing the birth
of the next generation of British kings. However, that year also

European monarchs, first with Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands,
then King Albert II of Belgium, and…

The United Kingdom now finds itself in a
period of great uncertainty. After the vote for Brexit, the change
in government and Donald Trump’s victory in the United States
presidential election, nobody quite knows where the ancient kingdom
is headed. Only one figure has the experience and stature to sell
the UK on the world stage. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was there
when Britain stood…
Dear HRH Prince Harry; I still remember
our Remembrance Day ceremonies at the elementary school I went to.
They would file class by class into the gymnasium until the 900
strong student population was present. The older kids sat on the
bleachers in the back, while the…
Opinion: Yes Prince Harry is dating, but the media harassment has to stop!
2nd November 2016
Lately, there’s been much hype about
Prince Harry’s alleged new relationship. Speculation, rumours and
pure gossip have flooded the internet and newspapers for almost a
week. Sadly, this has been the norm for the 32-year-old during his
entire adult life. It…
This year, the Emperor of Japan has
declared his wish to abdicate. Inevitably, this has led to great
discussion in the United Kingdom over whether or not Her Majesty
