Let's start when  she was child. Growing up, her family endearingly called her Lilibet.

The Queen was known as Shirley Temple by her uncle, the Duke of Windsor, a fact made popular from Season 1 of the Netflix Original, The Crown. Note: This was not a loving or endearing nickname.

Prince Philip, her husband of 70 years has been known to call her Cabbage.

It's A Boy!!!!

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.

The Royal Baby Name Is...

Yes! We finally know the name of the new royal baby, born on Monday. The name is... Prince Louis Arthur Charles! His title is His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge. Now, who is he named after?

He was killed by the IRA, an incident which deeply saddened Prince Charles, which leads me to the name Arthur. Arthur is the name of many Kings in British History, so the name is solidly a British Royal Name that many British Royals have as their middle names. Finally, the name Charles. It is obviously his grandfathers name, which makes a lot of sense why the waited for Prince Charles to meet the baby before the released his name. I can't wait to hear more about Prince Louis, and I will keep you posted.
