British Royal Family Movie Night

Royal movies are great movies! Here are some royal family movies that I have seen and I think are must sees for anyone who is obsessed with the British Royal Family.

1. The Kings Speech
This movie is about how King George VI works with speech therapist Lionel to help him with his stammer. At the same time, World War II is going on and the country needs to hear a speech from their king. This movie features Colin Firth as King George VI and Helena Bonham Carter and the Queen Mum. Geoffrey Rush portrays Lionel.

2. The Queen
This amazing royal movie follows the aftermath of the death of Princess Diana. The Queen and Prime Minister Tony Blair are in an argument about how the royal family should publicly respond to the situation. This movie features Helen Mirren as the Queen and plays the role amazingly.

3. Elizabeth at 90: A Family Portrait
This movie, while a documentary paints a beautiful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Narrated by her son Prince Charles, this documentary shows amazing footage along with interviews with family members such as Princess Anne, Lady Sarah Chatto, Queen Margrethe, Prince William and Harry, and many other cousins.

4. Prince Philip: The Plot to Make a King
This documentary explains how Prince Philip was asserted into Princess Elizabeth's eye by his uncle Louis Mountbatten. This documentary features some of Prince Philip's cousins and reviews the Prince's heritage and early life.

5. The Crown
Of course this is a must see! This Netflix Original must see for any royal fan. It gives a realistic portrayal of the royal family and Queen Elizabeth II. This stars Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth, Matt Smith as Prince Philip, and Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret.

    I hear very good things about Wolf Hall as well. It's a miniseries from a few years ago.

Royal Corgi Information

Queen Elizabeth II is not only in love with corgis! If you thought that Queen Elizabeth strictly only owns corgis, you are wrong. But, corgis are the dog of the royal monarchy. In fact, three of her corgis had a part of the opening ceremony at the London Olympics back in 2012. Three other cool facts to know about the Queen's corgis are: Her love of corgis began as a child when her dad, George VI bought the family a corgi named Dookie. Most of her corgis common ancestor is Susan, who was the Queen's eighteenth birthday present.  Susan the corgi came with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on their honeymoon. But the Queen does not limit herself to one breed of dogs! She has also owned labradors, a golden retriever, a cocker spaniel , and a shih tzu. The Queen has also been known to breed dorgis, which are a dachshund corgi mix which sound so cute! I got my information from the book Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family

The Royal Ascot 2019

Every summer, members of the British royal family attend the famous Royal Ascot, which is a horse race. This year, some of the members of the royal family that went included the Queen, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Princess Anne, and Zara Tindall. Also, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands were in attendance. Notably absent were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were most likely at home with their a little more than a month old son Archie. In terms of style, the Queen opted for her usual monochromatic look with a blue coat and hat. The Duchess of Cambridge also donned a pleated pale blue dress and fascinator of the same shade to match. Princess Beatrice also wore an all pale blue attire with a wide brimmed blue hat with pink, blue, and yellow tassels. Zara Tindall also joined in the blue fascinator trend, pairing her fascinator with a black dress with a large flowered pattern. Princess Eugenie kept herself within the blue r

The Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

First things first, Meghan's dress was gorgeous. It was simple, elegant, and stunning. The second thing is, the fasinators were amazing! But, before I get into that, let's start at the beginning. This is how I viewed the wedding. 4:00 am - Turned on the television. At this point, people had not started to arrive yet, and it was mainly reporters speculating about Meghan's dress. 4:30 to 5:00 am - People started to come, mainly aristocrats, Hollywood stars, and friends of Harry and Meghan, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Prince Harry's ex Chelsy Davy. Reporters also interviewed people who had charities that Harry and Meghan supported. Sometime after that, (I lost track of the time,) some more celebrities and aristocrats came, including the Middletons, the Beckhams and the Clooneys, as well as some more actresses. Then, the royal family began to arrive. The first royal that I saw was Zara Tindall, who is  pregnant with her second child, who is due v
