Why do we still seem so obsessed with royalty in the 21st century? What is it about the monarchy that makes it so appealing to people the world over? We love the pomp and circumstance, the pageantry, the crown and sceptre, the gowns, not to mention all the royal gossip!
In this episode, we will travel through time to trace the origins of the British monarchy and I will tell you about the day I was invited to one of the Queen’s Garden Parties, in the summer of 1991. Yes, that was quite something!
If you’re a royal fan and would like to dive into the history of the monarchy, you might want to check out this book: “A Brief History of the British Monarchy: From the Iron Age to King Charles III”, by British historian Jeremy Black.
