Sometimes you stumble upon some royal gems on YouTube, like I did a few years back when I found video of Zara Tindall’s (née Phillips) christening. It took place at Windsor Castle in July 1981, just two days before her uncle, Prince Charles, married Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. If Charles…

Mrs. Jack Brooksbank celebrated two years of wedded bliss (and ten years together) today by sharing an Instagram video of their relationship, which included some behind-the-scenes photos from their wedding day. Most royal watchers will agree that Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding their second favorite modern royal wedding to watch, right behind William and…

We the People of the United States need to take a page from the mother country and start wearing hats on special occasions.

Prince George may have stolen the show yesterday, but today it was Princess Anne’s granddaughter, Mia Tindall, who had everyone asking, “Who’s the toddler holding Her Majesty’s purse?” Annie Leibovitz shot a photo of the Queen with two of her youngest grandchildren – Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn – and five great-grandchildren. While…

The whole point of having children, and then grandchildren (followed by great-grandchildren), is to force them to do sensible things, like carrying heavy packages, and holding your purse during a very important photoshoot. This is what Her Majesty had Mia Tindall, 2, do for what could be the year’s most famous photo (it’s tied for first…

It’s a well-known fact that Britain’s royal family would prefer the company of horses and dogs to humans, and several people close to the Queen have said that if she weren’t the sovereign, she’d be living a quiet life in the country. In February, Prince William was accused of living like a “gentleman country farmer,”…
