A penny for their thoughts…

Merry Christmas and warm wishes to all. I can’t believe 2010 is almost upon us already!

This season, please take a moment to donate in memory of Cheekers the cockatiel. As you may remember, Cheekers passed away quite unexpectedly this past summer. In her memory, I humbly ask for a donation that will go to my local animal shelter, c/o A Royal Rep Reader (note: the PayPal page says that the donation is for birds, but for Christmas it will be for any animal).

Or, if you prefer, you can simply go to your own local animal shelter and donate. Lots of families are having major difficulties in this economic slump, and unfortunately many animals get forgotten in the hubbub or need to be given up. Lend a helping hand if possible and give little guys the love they need this year.

Thank you!

Mandy

I bet he could do a thing or two in the Buckingham Palace kitchens. Look out!

It’s like having my very own Oscar ceremony!

I’ve been awarded two lovely honors: one from Cinderella of World of Royalty, who has bestowed the Great Buddy award, and Viola of Royal Rendezvous , who has presented me with the Excessively Diverting Blog Award.

It has been brought to my attention that the latest episode of RoyaltyNow! has poor sound quality.

I did have some trouble uploading it Wednesday, so something went wrong along the way. I am going to record it again over the course of the weekend.

I will probably add some thoughts on Prince Harry’s latest “gaffe”. He recently met a black comedian and said, “You don’t sound like a black chap.”

I am not understanding why that’s an insult. It sounds like a really ridiculous thing to say, but it doesn’t sound like an insult.

Anyway, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Look for the updated podcast either today or tomorrow at some point.
