Ingrid Seward is livid about Anthony Armstrong-Jones collaborating on a book about his life. Well, his love-life, that is. In her monthly letter in Majesty Magazine, Ms. Seward wonders what good it will do the Earl of Snowdon to discuss his private matters with the world, and possibly embarrass the Queen.

I wonder this myself. Is this something trashy, or is it a psychological treatise that the Earl simply must unleash? Stay tuned…

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.

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.

I’ve just received the book “Tiaras: Past and Present” by Geoffrey Munn. It looks fantastic, and when I’m done, I will write a review. This is definitely going to go on The List.

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.
