    "Queen Sofia Up Close" by Pilar Urbano (2008)

    This is going to be bad for the Spanish Monarchy.I have been a big fan of Her Majesty the Queen Dona Sofia for a long while.I loved her elegance and grace and right Royal discretion,which was like a shinning beacon of light in this age of dark and danky royal tell-alls.Now she too was drawn to...

    Queen Letizia's Personality

    To me HRH The Princess of Asturias remains a virtual royal mystery.Since she became a royal her personality seems to have gone through a sudden subtle change.She seems more quieter and less opinionated than when we first met her as a would be royal.But my dear to say she is choleric is...

    When did your opinion of Diana change and why?

    Do Royals Watch These Boards?

    That's so funny.I don't think they'll get mad.Hope not.Maybe a little tickled,or flattered.If Royalty is here, that's just great.Maybe when they tire of reading and posting about themselves,they go to the celebrity chit-chat section.There,just maybe they might encounter Paris,Lindsay,Britney of...
