Did You Know This About Queen Mary of Teck!

Here is a fact that will surprise you about Queen Mary of Teck, the Queen Consort to King George V. George V was actually not born to be king. He expected to that his brother, Prince Albert Victor would be King. But then, his brother's death, changed everything. Not only was he now next in line for the crown, but he had also inherited his brother's would-be-wife, Mary of Teck. Even though the marriage was forced, they were a very devoted couple who supported each other.

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.

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...

Royal Wedding Traditions

  Royals love tradition, and royal weddings are the perfect place to see some of their traditions. With two royal weddings on the way, I thought it would be interesting to share some royal wedding tradition with you, and tell you which traditions so far we know Meghan Markle and Prince Harry plan not to do, and if Princess Eugenie has a traditional wedding, what she could do.

Some royals who have followed this tradition are: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate). But, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have opted for a different flavor of cake. Banana Cake. Apparently, according to  People Magazine, Prince Harry loves bananas. Princess Eugenie, has not released anything about her wedd...
