I absolutely love the Young Royal News blog. It is definitely going to be a permanent link in my list of Blog Fellows! :)

Send me your name and email address, and I will write them on pieces of paper. They will be tossed into a ceremonial raffle-drawing hat, and the selection of names will be made via video at the RoyaltyNow! podcast site.

See this post for more.

I’ve been working feverishly on the Royal Jewels section of the website. It is nearly finished, and I have added new images that were not there previously. Next I will be working on the Crown Jewels section.

If you’ve been wondering where the photo gallery has gone, simply scroll down and look for the Flickr photo album on the left. That’s where the gallery will be contained from now on. Enjoy!

Yeah, it was a dumb pun. I think it’s exciting that the Queen really likes the Nintendo Wii though. And why wouldn’t she? It’s one of the most entertaining and innovative systems out there.

The Queen seems to like keeping abreast of the times with the latest gadgets and technology. Look at her Royal YouTube channel, for instance. A lot of that is Prince Philip’s influence too, I think. We all know how much he loves efficiency and gadgets.

When Elizabeth and Philip were first married, he made sweeping changes in the royal homes. When they got to Buckingham Palace, he did the same thing – the installation of dishwashers, washing machines, and even hotplates in separate royal apartments so the kitchens would not have to run full-steam 24/7.

A discussion on the latest issue of “Majesty” magazine will soon be posted at RoyaltyNow!.

Ah, you thought I’d forget, eh? Not to worry!

Silly me, when re-structuring the blog, I left out one very important site: Queen Alia’s memorial website.

Queen Alia, the second wife of King Hussein of Jordan, has always intrigued me. Her children, Prince Ali and Princess Haya, have always been very visible publicly but we never knew that much about Queen Alia herself. She died so young that these days, no one knows much about and there was limited information available online – until now.

Her link will be permanently located on the sidebar with the others for your perusal. It is wonderfully done and created with the approval of Princess Haya.
