Royal watcher from way back. I also tinker with Photoshop. A lot.
My goal is to keep everyone up to date on the unsung royals. The ones who are out there slogging away for King/Queen and Crown, but are rarely talked about.LuckeyGirl
While I haven't been into the royal world as long as others, I have jumped in feet first! Fave families are the Scandis: Swedish, Danish and Norwegian, but I'll gladly go anywhere fabulous clothes and amazing jewels take me.
Apparently I am the expert on tiaras, orders, sashes, history and the Monegasque Princely Family...

A candid take on the fashions & jewels seen on royals (and a few others). I tend to write about historical items and events.
Princess Beatrix is my jam.
The Handbag
I have been following royalty since the Diana/Fergie days. My favorite royal, sartorially speaking, is Queen Letizia, followed closely by that ageless scamp, Princess Astrid of Norway. I love following the less followed in the royal world. My general duties here in Handbagland are the Bits & Bobs and whatever Random Royaling arises.
