Few posts this year on the blog thus far, which has several reasons. After a few lovely quiet days, the royal year 2023 really started off, when on Thursday 5 January the new book by Prince Harry, “Spare”, was sold already five days earlier than planned. Hell broke loose. Thousands and thousands of articles were […]
Much less visitors for NettyRoyal in 2022 than in 2021. I suppose it is either because I posted less regularly, or people spent much less time online. Here is the (somewhat surprising) top 10 of posts in 2022: Instagram statistics for 2022: There are so many recent Christmas cards among the best liked posts, that […]
On the last day of the year it is time to reflect on 2022. After two years in which Covid-19 played a huge role in the life of people all around the world, 2022 was going to be a lot better, with much less restrictions in many countries. Unfortunately then Russia attacked Ukraine and for […]
The death of the Markgraf von Baden on 29 December 2022 reminded me of one of my most special royal meetings over the years. When trying to put some order in the huge amount of photos I have taken in the past 20 years or so, I came across this pre-digital photo. It is probably […]

The royals have started publishing the photos that will appear on their Christmas card this year. Below the Christmas card of the Spanish King and Queen featuring their daughters the Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofia in a rather autumnly setting.

For the second weekend in a row I was travelling. And as I didn’t have a lot of time during the week, the result was: no posts on the blog. Not that there is nothing to write. I just don’t have time. So, what did I do this weekend, Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 December […]
Already for a while I have been thinking how I could monetize my blog. In October 2023 my website will celebrate its 25th anniversary, which seems to be almost unbelievable. In all these years I have never asked for money and made it my goal to inform people better about known and unknown royal and […]
On my search for a name for the new cat in my life, I received tens of lovely royal suggestions. From Amalia to Beatrix/Beatrice and Diana, to Lili/Lilly, Sisi, Noor and Juliana (Juultje), Vicky, Catherine and Fabiola, Emma and Mabel, or even Duchess or Princess. In the end it was a “contest” between Lizzie, Cleo(patra) […]
Oh well, what to say. Someone seems to have left this poor, likely female, black cat behind when moving homes recently.
