Scotland and London in July 2006 was probably the first vacation I took my digital camera with me, and looking at the rather low amount pictures it is clear that I at the time wasn’t exactly sure how many of them would fit on one memory card. I remember it wasn’t the best day of […]
The Royal Yacht Britannia
“The Royal Yacht Britannia has had its most successful year since first opening to the public 18 years ago.” several newspapers wrote today. The old royal yacht that was used for more than 40 years until it was decommissioned in 1997, attracted almost 350,000 people in 2016. The Britannia nowadays can be visited in Leith, […]
Amsterdam exhibition – Royal Bags
The funny (or bad) thing about royals is that you might get interested in more and more subjects. Years ago I never thought I would even remotedly become interested in fashion, but nowadays I might even recognise a designer by just seeing a dress. This Saturday I met with four other royalty watchers in Amsterdam. […]
Two (Three) Happy Queens
Here the newest additions to my collection. It must at least have been a year ago that I acquired Queen Silvia of Sweden (in the middle). On Sunday a friend gave me Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain as a gift. And I decided to buy Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands myself, after I found […]
Paparazzi scare
Looking at myself I become pretty bored when I hear and read too much about one particular royal house.

They are ably supported by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, […]

The Favourite Royal of … Yaroslava
Yaroslava from the Ukraine also loved to share her favourite royals with me. Who are your favourite royals? Being a royal fan almost all of my life, and currently a royal journalist and watcher makes my choice harder than ever. But I would name two: HM Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Crown […]
