“Prince Philip is my favourite royal of the British Royal Family. His family background wasn’t easy at all. He suffered a lot in his puberty, but overcome it with the help of his British relatives. Then he became cadet at Dartmouth Naval College, served at WWII and renounced his identity to marry the girl he loved. He could be hard, sassy, or distant, but is all part of what he has lived. As The Queen has said, “he has been my strength and stay all these years”.” - Submitted by royalcommoner

“Maximilian of México had liberal reforms, desire to help the people of Mexico, refused to desert his loyal followers, and was brave during the siege of Querétaro. His wife was first cousin to Queen Victoria and to her husband, Albert, as well as niece of Leopold I. The Imperial Couple also cared for the poor, and they adopted children without royal blood. As Mexican, I consider them exceptional leaders. I wonder what would happened if Monarchy would still exist instead of our awful “democracy”?” - Submitted by royalcommoner

“I have always found a lovely intrigue in Elizabeth I’s locket ring, specially because I don’t think people had spoken well about Anne Boleyn during the reigns of her father and her siblings. I conclude that’s a very complicated matter. Probably she heard Anne was a whore and a witch, but she also grew up knowing how her father treated his wives. I’m sure she made herself a different criterium. Her mother’s end, inspired Elizabeth to never marry, because you could loose your head (literally).” - Submitted by royalcommoner

“If WWI was the downfall of the German, Russian, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires; and the WWII was the downfall of Japanese and Italian Empires... I wonder if a WWIII break out, would be the end of the monarchies across Europe.” - Submitted by royalcommoner

“Being the daughter of divorced parents has more complications and frustrations of what children with happy-and-married parents could ever imagine. I have a sister and a half-brother, and as person, it would hurt me deeply if one of them would be speaking shit about me. I feel empathy for Meghan because she doesn’t deserve what her jealous sister is claiming. I mean, is your own blood. Never mind what tabloids said, but when comes from your family… It hurts.” - Submitted by royalcommoner

“When I realise out that Kate is already 35 years and Diana died at 36, it’s when shocks me the youth of Diana at the time of her death. Diana married too young and lived too fast. She wasn’t ready for the hard task she took. No matter what people say of The Cambridges, they have managed it very well.” - Submitted by royalcommoner

“For me, the British Royal Family is the world’s royal family, I like them very much, specially The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. That’s why frustrates me that the future King and Queen (William & Kate) act so cold and put barriers every time. I don’t feel they’re empathic, just look at them at the Service of Hope for the terror attack in London. They need to show more empathy, show the British people that they really care, because if they don’t, sadly I see the end of the British Monarchy.” - Submitted by royalcommoner

“Sophie, Countess of Wessex is my favourite daughter-in-law of Queen Elizabeth II: hard working, caring, regal, private and funny. She truly dignifies the British Monarchy. I hope Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge learns from her.” - Submitted by royalcommoner
