For decades, many have painted the
Duchess of Cornwall as a villain cast opposite of Diana’s hero. It
is past time for that narrative to stop. I was struck by how the
Duchess is being, again, painted as the villain while watching the
latest series of The Crown. We see her as the other woman, running
around with the Prince of Wales while he was married to Diana. It
is important to…
Should the Duke of Cambridge have kept his positive COVID-19 results private?
9th November 2020
It has recently been announced that the
Duke of Cambridge tested positive for COVID-19 back in April,
shortly after it was announced that the Prince of Wales had also
contracted the virus. Prince Charles was the first British royal to
contract the virus and decided to…
This weekend, the wrong York announced
that they would like to take on official royal duties. That’s

Opinion: The Queen and Prince William should have worn masks on Porton Down visit
16th October 2020
Anyone who knows me well knows I am a
fervent fan of Her Majesty The Queen. Which was why I was so
surprised to see the pictures of Her Majesty’s joint engagement
with Prince William yesterday. Neither royal (nor the staff

Energetics Analysis Centre at the Defence Science and Technology
Laboratory, located in Porton Down…

welcomed surprise announcement on Thursday – King Philippe of the
Belgians had met his half-sister, Princess Delphine (formally known
as Delphine Boël) for the first time. The newly discovered siblings

How pleased was I to see the fabulously
floral, frilled fashion statement worn by Princess Anne to the
Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana brought to life in all its gaudy
glory for the new season of The Crown? Very, that’s how much, for
not only is the outfit worn by…
It’s the one outfit everyone wanted to
see in Season Four of hit TV show, The Crown. The wedding dress
worn by Lady Diana Spencer for her marriage to the Prince of Wales
has been brought to life and we’ve now got our first glimpse of it
on actress, Emma Corrin, who takes on the part of the late
princess. And while it’s a pretty spectacular sight, I’ll admit
that for me, it slightly misses…
It’s become one of the most popular
history shows on British TV, helping its young viewers to learn all
about the past while enjoying themselves. And one of the ways that
‘Horrible Histories’ manages that is by its clever use of music.

Helen Mirren – Queen Elizabeth II Mirren,
73, played Queen Elizabeth in ‘The Queen’ (2006), ultimately
winning her the best actress Oscar at the 2007 Academy Awards. She
hilariously quipped in her acceptance speech; “Elizabeth Windsor
has maintained her dignity, her sense of duty and her hairstyle.”
It is clear Mirren captures The Queen’s dedication and her
steadfastness during…
