All I have to say is that I am really unhappy with Yahoo. I am deliberating over switching servers, and will be deciding that for sure this week. I will definitely announce a change if that happens, so don’t worry about that!

Also, does anyone know why Ananova.com doesn’t have a royal section any more?

(Sunday, March 21, 2004)

Former Dutch queen Juliana died Saturday at 94 of pneumonia.

As a princess, Juliana spent the war years in Ottawa where she fostered enduring ties with Canada and who later oversaw the postwar dismantling of the centuries-old Dutch empire during a 32-year reign.

Juliana, who gave up public life in 1999 due to her weakening condition, died in her sleep of a lung infection at the royal palace in Soestdijk, about 50 kilometres southeast of Amsterdam.

Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende cancelled foreign travel plans and declared a national day of mourning for the popular monarch he called “a mother to us all.”

Several newspapers printed special free editions and national television channels broadcast hour after hour of special coverage.

Balkenende ordered flags on public buildings be flown at half mast until Juliana’s remains are interred at the ancestral burial chamber in Delft. Juliana will lie in state at the palace of Noordeinde in The Hague for several days next week before the funeral, probably on March 31.

The ‘download’ link in the Help section has been repaired. It now brings you to royal music and comics (like it was supposed to!) :-)

Just a note: If you sign the petition, that means you are agreeing to the creation of an official British Heritage Month. This is a PETITION, not a message board to tell me whether or not my idea sucks.

You sign, you agree. You don’t sign, that’s your perogative.

There are people who are posing as me, apparently. I just received an email from “myself” this morning. The address is “support@mandysroyalty.org” – there is no such email address… er, well, there is, obviously, but it is not me. Don’t open anything from mandysroyalty.org unless it has info@ in front of it.

Thank you!

I wanted to post something earlier, but there was a log in issue at Blogger.

To the Spanish people – you have America’s deepest sympathy. We are all very sad that this happened, and are resolved to help support you in this hour of need.
