Royal Prince's Star Wars Cameo

I have recently Star Wars the Last Jedi. Apparently, Prince William, and the newly engaged Prince Harry have a cameo in Star Wars the Last Jedi! I unfortunately, did not notice any British Royal in the film, but if you do, please tell me! I have heard rumors that they appear as storm troopers, so if you go to see the movie, look for Prince William and Harry!         Prince Harry photo by DoD News Features Prince William photo by USAID/Vietnam  Storm trooper Photo by Rober González on Unsplash

What The Crown Tells Us About Philip's Past

WARNING:The content below contains spoilers about The Crown season 2. If you wish not to hear spoilers about The Crown, it would be in your best interest not to read this post. Scroll down to read post. In the second episode of The Crown season 2, a reporter tries to get an interview with Philip about his past. She tells him about himself, an exiled prince, when his mother was sent to a mental asylum, and when his father left them, pressing Philip for details. What the reporter has told him is all true information. When Philip was young, his family was exiled from is home in Greece.

Star Wars Royals

This post is for my friend, who is a big Star Wars fan. To see her blog, click here . Ok. I know that in my welcome post, which you can view here , I made it very clear that I would only be talking about real royals. But, sometimes you have to bend the rules a little. Of course, Star Wars The Last Jedi is coming out very soon, so I have put together a post about two of the most well know royals in Star Wars, Padme and Leia, and some less commonly known Star Wars royals. Padme Amidala, played by Natalie Portman, was elected Queen of Naboo when she was just fourteen years old. To compare her to a real monarch, Queen Elizabeth II became the Queen of England when she was twenty five years old, which is a very young age. Unlike the real life monarchs that you can read about on this blog, Padme was only Queen for a few years, and then becomes a senator for Naboo. She succeeded by Queen Jamillia, who is not her daughter, nor do they have any relation. Another of Naboo's young queens
