Welcome, Mary!
It must have been quite an exiting experience to be so close to Their Majesties.

And we don't feel weirdos because of our hobby.
If I got a dollar for every time a friend has given me the look when I dare to speak of royalty, I'd be a millionaire!

On this site, it's hard to feel anything but normal, because everyone around you is in some shape or form interested in royalty. As for the 'look', I get that and an 'oh, here we go again' every time I mention anything royal-related. Before it irritated me, but now I find it quite amusing .

Welcome Mary Welcome!! I hope you have just as wonderful of a time here as I've been having!
Must be wonderful to have that memory of waving to King George and Queen Elizabeth! They were king and queen when I was born but King George passed on a month after so all I really remember is HM and the DoE's long years of dedication and service.
My hubby (King of the Remote) used to give me the look but I guess now that's he's gotten so used to me and my royal madness, any time he hears anything remotely (pun intended) royal, he makes sure he tells me about it. He's learning.

Thank you very much for your welcome. Although I was so young, I can still picture the King and Queen driving slowly passed.

Looking for Royal Fans

I work for Back2back Productions, England. We are making a 6-part documentary about the Royal Family entitled ‘The Royals’. As part of the documentary we want to speak with people who are huge fans of the Royals. I would love to hear from you if you think this is something that you may be interested in. We would initially arrange a Skype interview and then an interview in person.
Please check out our website www.back2back.tv. If this is something you may be interested in taking part in, please email me on Jamie.stratton@back2back.tv or call me at the office on 01273 222652
