Diana the Cover Girl

It's no surprise that on the 10th anniversary of Diana's death, there will be an onslaught of magazines covers. When she was alive she could significantly boost readership. Even after her death, Diana is still making covers, possesing a longevity Maxim girls would envy. It's guaranteed that Majesty Magazine, Royalty Monthly, Hello and People will feature her. Good Housekeeping and TV Guide have already had her on the cover. The Special edition TV Guide, eschewing its normal subject in favor of a magazine packed with photos and blurbs, but no upcoming Diana tv shows. But what other magazines could jump on the bandwagon?


Sports Illustrated: Diana, her life through sport.


Skeptic Magazine: Is Diana still alive?


The American Journal of Medicine: Diana - still curing waiting room malaise


Rolling Stone: Ex-Wife, Mother, Music lover. Will Duran Duran's career ever be the same?


UFO Digest: Connecting with Diana in the afterlife.


Maxim: Diana - just because she looks nice.


Better Homes & Gardens: How Diana changed the floral industry.


Popular Photography: Diana - Just because we can.


Travel + Leisure: Hot spots Diana loved


British Journalism Review: Diana - What do we write about now?


And my personal favorite:


Gun World: Diana Memorabilia - Defending your right to collect.

Happy Birthday Prince William!

Prince William was born 25 years ago today. I was 10 years old and I remember hearing about his birth on the radio.

NOTE: Okay, well then, this video has been removed from youtube. Too bad, it was actually nice to go down memory lane. Couldn't they have waited until the 22nd to do this? ;)

Oh well, Happy Birthday to Prince William anyways!



This video isn't as 'poignant' as the other one but it has some nice photos.

Lilibet's Royal Blog

June 1, 2007

Now that I have an email address, a website and I can use a cell phone, I've decided to start my own royal blog. I was going to call it 'The Adventures of Lilibet' or 'I'm the Queen' but I thought the first one was too long and the second too presumptuous - even though it's completely true - I AM the Queen. Anyways, after much thought I've decided on Lilibet's Royal Blog.

I must be crazy to do this, with all of my endless engagements, correspondence, Openings of Parliament, Trooping the Color, etc. But I thought I would give it a go. Wish me luck!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Been busy with the ruling thing and all. Today I had a dress fitting and sat for a portrait. I'm completely exhausted.

Philip's 86th birthday today. It's so hard to shop for him nowadays. Settled on some new socks but held out on giving the Prince Consort title - that's going to be a surprise for our anniversary.Off to walk the corgis now.

My goodness, this royal blogging is harder than it looks. What was I getting myself into?

Yesterday we had the Garter Ceremony. I always enjoy getting dressed up for that. Had scones for tea. They were a bit on the stale side.
