Royal Week

The Potted Boxwood Photo in London
Good morning! Happy Royal Wedding Week! Whether you like the royals or not, there is something pretty enchanting about a life where generations go back ruling a country while being called King, Queen, Prince or Princess. I find this new generation of royals to be rather fascinating.

My only claim to the royals is a rug my great-grandmother purchased that once belonged to Lord Mountbatten (grandfather to India Hicks).  Otherwise. my expertise is surface level, besides The Crown on Netfilx. This is why I have one of my best friends and royal expert, Caroline of Caroline Covets taking over the blog this week. Her knowledge is extensive, and she will take you through everything you need to throw a royal party to royal weddings of the past.  Cheers!
