Your Favourite Historical British Royal?


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
My favorites are Edward IV and Richard III. I have always been fascinated. I had an excellent teacher in my summer schools in Cambridge, she was an EdwardIV-Richard III specialist, hence my interest.

And to come back to the present days, I like the Gloucesters very much. The present Duke and Duchess of course, but also the Ulsters.
 
Mine is of course is The Princess of Wales. If it wasn't for Diana I would never be interested in Royalty.

I absolutely share the same feeling. My interest in royalty began with Diana. She's my favorite British Royal of all times because of her devotion to so many charities and she's one of the first famous person to really talk about AIDS. She totally changed the people's look on royalty.
 
My favorite is princess Marina, duchess of Kent. She was a very royal lady, good looking, great jewellery, and very elegant. I think the royals could learn a lot from this lovely Lady.

I like pictures of her and her sister prinscess Olga of Yougoslavia.
 
This is a tough question because there are several British royals, past and present, that I am fond of (rather interested in.)

Nonetheless, I would place Edward, Duke of Windsor, (also once known as King Edward VIII for eleven months) on the top of my list.

He's such a complicated figure/man perhaps that is why he's on the top of my list. After a year and a half of researching his life (still finding new material) I still can't figure him out (his behavior, psyche, and so forth.)
 
Who is your favorite British royal ever, past or present?

Mine has to be Henry VIII. He has a very interesting history and his 2 daughters were such interesting queens!
My favourite British royal ever is HM Queen Elizabeth II.
 
I would have to say first it was Diana, Princess of Wales. I also never followed any Royals before that wedding! I will never forget getting up so early to watch it on TV. After Diana would have to be Queen Alexandra and Queen Elizabeth.
 
Mine is Queen Mary, the present queen's paternal grandmother.
 
Queen Alexandra

King George VI&Queen Elizabeth
 
Queen Victoria, hands down! She did much for her country and lived through times of great change in the world.
 
Queen Catherine of Aragon, Queen Elizabeth II and King George VI
 
I like Princess Margaret of Connaught :)

I also love Queen Victoria for her spunk, and for being such an admirable woman.
 
For me: Queen Elizabeth II. A true image of a Queen.
 
My favourite is princess Diana, quickly followed by viscountess Serena.
 
My favorite British royal has to be Princess Eugenie, she just seems so nice and normal.
 
Princess Diana Prince Andrew, and sarah Furguson!
i agree

diana for the same reason as other members ive been lucky enough to be in her pressence she is an amazingly beautiful woman

prince andrew great father easy going and seems more relaxed in his role than some of the others and great to look at ( especially that smile ;))

sarah because she has kept Princessess Bea + Eugenie grounded and hasent been afraid to be inderpendent even though she was married into the firm
 
Elizabeth I, a great state-person, a queen so intelligent and responsible that decided to become a symbol, to stay single so that any man towered over her and wanted to lead her, according to the times. I do not like her parents but fate made an excellent combination of genes.
 
Princess Diana of Wales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Queen Alexandra.

She seemed so regal and poised. Just lovely.

Yes my favourite is by far Elizabeth I. I've read a lot of books about her, what an amazing person she must have been! I wish, I could have met her..
 
HMQ Alexandra- she was so beautiful!
Elisabeth I because she was so stong.
Sarah because she knows how to laugh and does not care what people think about her.
