The Royal Representative

Archive for the ‘August Annotations’ Category

Thanks to my latest guest commentators from the International Listings blog, I have discovered the website of the Serbian royals. I’ve listed it in the “Sources” links. Oh, and if you have some time, visit August Annotations for the latest. The guest commentary from Andy Hagans and Brian Thibault is brilliant.

Coming up at RoyaltyNow!: A review of the latest issue of Majesty magazine and Jerramy Fine’s book “Someday My Prince Will Come”.

I am putting my new scheme of a royal book club into place with this newest podcast. Once it is uploaded this week, let me know if you like the format. I am always open to reader input, and besides, this is not just my book club - it’s ours!

Since the merging of August Annotations with RoyaltyNow!, I invite all authors and journalists to make use of the podcast option offered through RN!. Present a commentary or explanation of your book/article through video or audio.

Contact me today.

Susan Flanders, creator of “Writer of Queens”, is the guest commentator for the month of May. Her story focuses on Princess Beatrice, youngest child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

Baby is about the life and times of the Princess, who grew up in a sad, quiet court, while on the outside the world was opening up to the might of the British Empire.

See more at the blog!

It’s that time again! The review for the April issue of Majesty magazine is out. I also discuss an idea I have in which I would combine August Annotations with RoyaltyNow!, so they form an interactive book club. Watch the video and let me know what you think.

Now that the raffle is over, August Annotations needs a jumpstart.

We ended in March with a fabulous commentary by Harold Schmautz on the Portugese Royal Pretender, Dom Duarte Pio. Now, I put out a call for royal writers for the month of May. If that is too soon, then we can move it to the month of June.

Email me at anytime to let me know if you would be interested in promoting your book or article!

The latest profile is now available at August Annotations!

Issue #28: Dom Duarte Pio: Portugal’s King-In-Waiting

Now at August Annotations:

Michael Farquhar, a writer and editor at the Washington Post, presents an excerpt from his book “A Treasury of Royal Scandals - The Shocking True Stories of History’s Wickedest, Weirdest, Most Wanton Kings, Queens, Tsars, Popes, and Emperors”.

Mr. Farquhar has appeared on the History Channel’s Russia, Land of the Tsars and is currently working on his latest book about British Royalty.

I have some very exciting commentaries coming up for the months of February and March. After that, we have the raffle celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Mandy’s British Royalty. Join me for the fun!

November’s edition of August Annotations is now available. This month: Charlotte Casiraghi.
