Prince Harry and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and of course Royal 2020.
Royal stuff to read at Christmas
I can’t say I always like the post, especially not in recent weeks. Today my TV-guide (a paper version) arrived far too late and already three out of seven days I had to figure out elsewhere what was on TV. I of course missed one of my favourite programs on Sunday evening. I had to […]
Christmas is nearing
Like the royals I am preparing for Christmas and New Year. Christmas cards are slowly arriving here, also royal ones, and I bought my Christmas tree on Tuesday. I’ve also added decoration at the window and above my computer, where I sit most of the day, listening to Christmas music of course. The royals are […]

Christmas Markets 2019
What is even more wonderful than a Christmas market … exactly, a Christmas market in or around a castle. Sometimes they’re huge, sometimes they’re rather small. If you’re planning to visit one of the markets, here are the dates for 2019. Some have already taken place, so I didn’t list them, others are still to […]
UPDATE 28-2! Royal Christmas mail 2018
Every year with Christmas there is a small list of royals – up to 15 – who receive a Christmas card from me. Because I like them, find them interesting and they send a card back. I wouldn’t send cards to royals I have never heard of, just because they send something. The royal families […]
What can go wrong when baking royal ginger bread cookies?
Last week the British royals placed this lovely ginger bread biscuits recipe from the royal pastry chefs on their website. It looked so easy that even a non-baker like me thought it didn’t look too difficult, apart from the icing. How wrong can you be! 200 Grams Self-Raising Flour 1 teaspoon of Ground Ginger 1 […]

It’s royal Christmas market time

Last weekend I visited the Christmas show at a local garden centre and I did see lots and lots of decoration with crowns. Frogs, birds, mice, even the carriage of Cinderella. I already have far too much decoration, so I […]

Like Queen Margrethe – Create your own royal Christmas decoration
Only just over three weeks until it is Christmas. No Christmas without an advent calendar. I’d rather have one with chocolate each day, but they can be cute without too. I just found this Buckingham Palace advent calendar with template that you can easily make yourself and I don’t even think you have to be […]
Serviettes and Menus at Het Loo
I promise you this is the last Christmas at Palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn post. But there was so much to see this time. Apart from Christmas trees, Christmas decoration and festive tables, in the right wing of the palace there were also serviettes and really nice: menu cards. If you had time you could […]
