Unknown at the time, little Lilibet would become a record breaking, internationally acclaimed monarch whose duty to the nation and Commonwealth is celebrated across the world. Today the Queen celebrates her 86th birthday with her family in the year of her Diamond Jubilee.
If only King George V & Queen Mary could see her now! How proud they would be!
Happy birthday, Ma’am!

Regardless, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are officially engaged and Brad gave her a personally designed engagement ring. Apparently he strenuously pored over this design for a year with their private jeweler. It turned out to be a ring similar to the one worn by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall!

Camilla’s ring once belonged to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother – Prince Charles’ beloved granny.
Even Hollywood can’t help but copy the royals. :)
Mandy’s British Royalty began 14 years ago today! Here’s to many more great years!
HM The Queen’s first grandchild has provided her with a second great-grandchild.
