Dr. Anna Whitelock is a professor of early modern history at Royal Holloway University (where yours truly studied abroad), as well as the director of The London Centre for Public History. Having predicted that the British monarchy will be O-V-E-R by 2030, she has earned the “bearer of bad news” title for Monday, April 4th.
I remember the first time I laid eyes on it. The date: June 11th, 2011. The Occasion: Trooping of the Colour, the official celebrations of the monarch’s birthday. Ah, what a site to behold. The cinching at the waist, the tiered skirt…it was a coat I shall always covet.
It seems like only yesterday when I awoke before 4am ET to cover the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. April 29th will mark five years since the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge married in a spectacular ceremony, seen by 2 billion people worldwide. On April 18th at 10pm ET, REELZ Channel will premiere…
On December 10th, 2014, Princess Gabriella of Monaco, Countess of Carladès was born at the Princess Grace Hospital, named after her paternal grandmother.

Despite a report that he’s moving to America in order to “find his princess,” I’m afraid Prince Harry will remain a UK citizen.
He is the heir, and she, the spare. So it’s only fitting that Prince George and his little sister, Princess Charlotte take part in the celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s (or “Gan Gan” as George calls her) 90th birthday. The Sun‘s Emily Andrews reports that the two children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge posed…
Last night, the highly-anticipated ITV documentary on Her Majesty aired in the UK, and now international audiences are able to watch it in full. Well, whoever can find it, I guess. Members of the royal family spoke affectionately about the Queen, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Prince of…
With his head tucked safely under mummy’s chin, Prince Oscar Carl Olof of Sweden posed for his second official photo. The Swedish Royal Palace released a new image of Oscar and his mother, Crown Princess Victoria. The little prince, born March 2nd, is Victoria’s second child with husband, Prince Daniel. He has an older sister,…
First off, let me just say “Hurrah!” for the third installment of my favorite franchise (more so the books, because the movie version Bridget Jones’s Diary: The Edge of Reason was slightly crap. Love the first film, though). Second, the movie doesn’t appear to follow the same storyline as Helen Fieldings’ book, Bridget’s Jones: Mad…
This morning, ISIS suicide bombers detonated two devices inside Brussels’ Zaventem airport, and another at a metro station. According to ABC News, one x-ray from an injured victim showed a nail that punctured a lung, leading authorities to believe that the bombs contained nails and screws. The total number of people killed at press time is…
