hello! My name is Michelle and it is so exciting to be here. I feel as though I have found kindred spirits. Where else am I going to find people just as obsessed (er...curious) with whether the Queen gave Kate those earrings or if they were a gift.... and what is the royal connection - I want the history, all of it. The royal houses of Europe all seem to be an amazing road map that at one point all roads lead to Victoria.... you gotta love the family tree!
I'm a long time loyalist - primarily BRF afficianado.... but enough of royalty geek to love them all. I'm old enough to have stayed up for Charles & Diana's wedding and 30 yrs later to have hosted a Pajamas & Tiaras Slumber Party for Will & Kate's (Pacific time wedding coverage was at 2am).
Love Love Love the Queen, think Prince Philip has a wicked sense of humor and is quite dashing for a 90 yr old (Charles is not aging nearly as well as his father), tired of Sarah crying and feeling sorry for herself - she is her own worse enemy (beginning to think her & Andrew really are perfect together), loved Diana but acknowledge her faults (she definitely could have handled a few things better), admittedly I still resent Camilla and have a hard time watching her wear tiaras larger than the Queen's, and I think Princess Anne is still the unsung hero of the family. Zara's wedding just looked splendid with lots of happy people - as it should be.
And, I am oh so cautiously optimistic for the future of the British Monarchy with Will & Kate.
