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. Prince Philip's father did, in fact leave the family, and his mum did get taken to a mental asylum. You can see, from Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip's wedding scene from season 1, (which was so last year) his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg dressed as a nun. Prince Andrew, his father, was not at the wedding.

I will keep you posted on royal news, The Crown, and of course, the royal wedding.

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...

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. My personal favorite cake flavor is chocolate. But, the British Royal Family's traditional wedding cake flavor is.... Fruit Cake! Yes, it is traditional to serve fruit cake at a royal wedding. 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...
