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...

A Clarifying Answer to a Frequently Asked Question

A frequently asked question about Meghan Markle is: "Will Meghan Markle be Princess Meghan?" The answer is no. Meghan Markle will not be a Princess, just like Princess Kate. Now wait, you are probably thinking: "But, isn't Princess Kate a princess?" The answer to this is simple. While the media calls Catherine Middleton "Princess Kate" and I refer to her as Princess Kate, it is not her real title. Princess Kate's (or should I say, Catherine Middleton's) royal title given to her is Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Right now, at the moment, the predicted title for Meghan Markle is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. On the other hand Princess Beatrice is actually a princess born with the title Princess Beatrice of York. A simple answer to a frequently asked question. Image a screenshot from first interview as a couple.
