I've had this fascination with the British monarchy for quite some time, now. I think the Plantagenets were the first group I studied in detail. What's amazing is how intertwined the present European royals are. Most of them trace back to Queen Victoria.
I was living in England when my son was born in Feruary of 1982 so I feel a kind of special attachment to William. I think my favorite part of their relationship is how he supports Kate. He has always projected the utmost confidence in her. When he looked at her in the cathedral and told her she looked beautiful, I absolutely melted.
Her Majesty was coronated on the day I was born so I feel a connection to her as well. I've watched her for years. She apparently has a wicked sense of humor and was responsible for opening up the family for more behind the scenes looks. The whole world will mourn her but with her family history, I don't expect that to happen any time soon.
