Just a quick note: over at the right under Politics: US-UK-CwN, you’ll find a new link that I entitled “A Bit About US”. It links to the website UShistory.org, a fabulous source for anyone who is interested in U.S. history and what we’re all about. Or supposed to be all about, anyway!
A Happy New Year to you all!
I need more people involved with my online royal studies school “The Royal Educational Society”. So anyone out there wishing to teach – you can be an actual teacher or someone wishing to share their vast knowledge of a royal subject – please contact me through my website:
http://www.mandysroyalty.org/Contact.html
Since the site is in its formative stages, I am only accepting offers from people interested in teaching courses at this time. This is all strictly volunteer work should you wish to participate as a teacher.Your participation helps to forge an amazing new experience for people everywhere.
I need people who are experts in the Anglo-Saxon era of Britain’s history.
While searching for the BBC’s 1969 program “The Royal Family”, I came across Yahoo! Answers. Someone posted a question which I thought was interesting and should be answered. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Q: An empire is a group of nations with one supreme ruler. The UK contains four countries England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as the Crown Dependencies of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. So would the title Britannic Empress (or something similar) be more fitting for our Queen ???
So I responded.
A: The Empire no longer exists, so therefore she could not be referred to as an Empress. The British Empire became a group of countries called the Commonwealth. Some old colonial countries are still a part of the Commonwealth, but India, for instance, left long ago. The Queen is known as Elizabeth The Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. King George VI, the Queen’s father, was the last King-Emperor.
