Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth!

Today is Queen Elizabeth's 93rd birthday. She is already the longest reigning monarch of Britain, and has been married to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh for over 70 years.

Queen Elizabeth was born in London on this day 93 years ago, to the then Duke and Duchess of York Albert and Elizabeth. When her uncle abdicated the throne and her father became King George VI, she became the heir to the throne. She married Prince Philip in 1947, and they have four children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Edward. She also has eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Queen Elizabeth has had a lifelong love of horses and corgis as well as having created dorgis, which are corgi dachshund mix.

I personally hope that Queen Elizabeth has a wonderful birthday that she gets to celebrate how she wishes.

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...

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? I think that he is named after Louis Mountbatten, who was Prince Philip's uncle, and a close confidant of the Royal Family, especially Princes Philip and Charles. 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.
