I just found an electronic version of David Starkey's book, 'Six Wives:the Queens of Henry VIII' on Google Books. I've just read a few pages but it seems fascinating. Starkey takes a less favorable view of Catherine of Aragon than other authors although its difficult for me to tell whether he...

Excuse if this is the wrong place for this thread but I could not find a similar topic. Do any of our Spanish members know much about the family of Maria de Salinas, lady-in-waiting, to Catalina de Aragon, Queen of Henry VIII? Maria went with Catherine to England. She married Lord Willoughby...

Certainly Nicholas did a lot of things wrong, though I think he is most similar to the last true King of France Louis XVI who inherited a land where the aristocracy were disenfranchised without the populace having the means or the social structures to govern themselves. The Russian government...

This thread is to discuss the current events of Prince Charles-Philippe d'Orleans, duc d'Anjou and Diana, Duchess of Cadaval.

Would any of you be interested in a Royal book club? The club could read different books about the royals each month and discuss. It wouldn't necessarily have to be about Charles and Diana - just any royal.

Hello, I'd like to start a thread on Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich, the eldest son of Alexander II and Marie of Hesse who was called Nixa by his family. Nixa was born 20 September 1843 at Tsarskoe Selo, and died at the age of 21 on the 24 of April 1865, at Villa Bermon, Nice. He was...

Today is the anniversary of the Queen's proclamation as Queen and I thought that it would be nice to start an On this Day thread for the family where TRF members could mark important dates in the British Royal Family as their anniversaries appear.

I was always struck by the marriage choices that Charles and Andrew made and on appearances they chose women exactly opposite that I thought they'd choose. First dowdy and rather prudish Charles chose a trophy wife, a stylish beauty with lots of glamour when he had previously dated the...

Sarah, duchess of York seems to generate a lot of discussion here and especially on her relationships with the Royal Family in particular her daughters and ex-husband. So we took a look at all the discussions surrounding Sarah on the boards here and came up with this question for our TRF...

This poll question was suggested by The Royal Forums member anbrida. Thanks anbrida. :flowers: The question is: We don't know whether Charles has visited Diana's grave after her funeral but whether he has or not, what is your opinion about Charles visiting Diana's grave? When you vote...

In an earlier thread member skydragon posted a link to an article by Richard Kay in the Daily Mail that alleged that someone was purposely feeding Diana false information during her divorce proceedings. Charles, Tiggy and the rumour about their affair that won't go away | the Daily Mail=...

Jo of Palatine suggested a discussion about people who have changed their opinion about Diana and how they got to the point where and when this started to happen. There really wasn't a thread for this type of discussion so we started one and added a poll based on some of the suggestions Jo had...

For those of you who thought you knew everything about royalty, here are some curious royal facts that maybe you don't know. And for the rest of us, they're just fun to read. :smile: Ivan the terrible claimed to have 'deflowered thousands of virgins and butchered a similar number of...

Well the choices are limited to Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and Victoria but the new BBC poll to rate the UKs greatest monarch should be interesting since each of the nominated monarchs has a heavy hitter in the literary world to extol their praises: BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | The UK's greatest...

The monarchy as an institution has undergone many changes in the last century and may be prepared to make many more to adapt and survive in changing times. A most appropriate time for change will come when the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, passes away after more than 50 years on the...

This poll was requested by Donna B. We all know what the tabloids say which name Wills' girlfriend prefers but I'd like to know which you prefer. Vote in the poll and say why you picked the name you did. Above all let's have some fun with it.

Time to start a new thread for Princess Beatrice's news and pictures. The old thread is here.

Welcome to the 12th installment of Charles' and Camilla's Current Events. Part 11 can be found here.

Thanks princejohnny for starting the original thread. For this go around, we're taking a slightly different approach which is more inline with the original question that princejohnny asked of members. It has been a little over a year since the Charles and Camilla got married. During that...

Since this community is made up of people from all over the world, I would like to ask our British members to give the rest of us some insights on the British papers and magazines that we most routinely get our source of royal information from. I'm wondering what's their reputation in...

It's not a royal book per se, but a historical narrative about Europe in the 14th century and has a lot of interesting stories about the royal families of that time. It centers on the life of Enguerrand de Coucy, a French noble who married the daughter of the King of England and his conflict...
