ReplyDeleteAnyway, never a dull moment with Britains' royals past and present.
Very nice photos of the young royal couple!
they did do some nice photo shootings!

ReplyDeleteThe nation is positively scandalised! The cheekiness of it, the arrogance!
DeleteNothing like having real history provide the background drama for a series.
ReplyDeletetoo true
DeleteWuhuuu..can't wait, can't wait! More epic dresses and tiaras as well I suppose :)
ReplyDeleteas usual! And royal puppies!
