Journal - Pen Heaven

British Royal Family - Royal Trivia _Book

I’ve been a fan of the British royal family since I was a child. I distinctly remember my mom watching the wedding of Princess Diana to Prince Charles on TV. She had recorded it on our VCR (yes, a VCR) and it was so amazing to watch the pageantry of the royal wedding. Flash forward to the present day and I’m still a fan of all things royal. I love watching the TV series, “The Crown” and if there’s a big interview on the news featuring the … [Read more...]
