Hello Everyone!

While I’m currently going through a lot right now with my hours getting possibly changed at work next week, having the kids I work with back on campus next week (pray for me & my co-workers), I’m starting up my Fall 2020 college semester, & some other personal things, I’m not really creating content for any of my social media’s. I found this on Instagram & wanted to see what my followers would think! Let me know who you choose! I chose Palace 1 or 3!

I AM BACK!!!

Hello my lovelies! I’m so happy to announce that I am back from my Hiatus! My summer semester has finally ended, my job was extremely crazy when I first started back up but now it has slowed down, my family is doing well, & my life is finally feeling like it’s going back to normal!!!!! I’m so excited to keep working on this account! 

An Account Announcement

Hey y’all. I know I have been completely silent on this account. I have been slowly updating biographies of the family, retagging posts, & trying to organize my account. Also my personal life outside of social media, has been an up & down rollercoaster of emotions these past few months. With being back at my job, currently in the final few weeks of my 2nd summer college semester (I did a summer semester in 2019), slowly rebuilding bridges in relationships with friends & family, & just dealing with my mental health, I have been so freaking exhausted. I have been trying to catch up on my social media but there are times I need to pull away. I will keep working on this account to re-do it, organize it, & have it to where my account makes me super happy. It will be slow steps coming back so if you start noticing small changes, I’m here. Also I know there is a ton going on in the world & if ANYONE needs me, please know my message & question boxes are always open for support! I love y’all so freaking much! ~ Kendall

Do you know who that lady is to Williams left (my right) in your header picture? Cause I’ve never seen her before and I thought you might know 😊

Do you mean the right? To his left is his wife Her Royal Highness Catherine The Duchess of Cambridge but to William’s right is one of Lady Helen Taylor’s daughters. I’m not sure which twin it is, but the twin’s names are Eloise Olivia Katherine Taylor & Estella Olga Elizabeth Taylor. I hope this helped! 💕☺️

Account & Life Update

Hello lovelies! I’m finally back to Tumblr! I have been quite for a while on social media due a lot of personal things. I definitely plan to return but with a different outlook. Keep reading to find out what has been going on personally & for an account update! I missed my beautiful account and my followers so much! I hope everyone is staying safe, being productive & happy, & staying healthy! I’m so glad to be back!

𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝐿𝒾𝒻𝑒 𝒰𝓅𝒹𝒶𝓉𝑒

These past few months of 2020 have definitely been a lot for me! It’s been an up & down rollercoaster of emotions but I’m doing a lot better which means I finally feel like for once I am at peace with life & I’m so incredibly positive & happy lately. Here’s a little list of things I’ve been going through lately.

I finally finished up my Spring 2020 Semester which was so much fun & I absolutely loved the 2 courses I took. I took English Composition 2 & General Psychology this semester. I have to say the 2 women who were my professors were absolutely amazing despite the pandemic we are going through. My psychology professor especially deserves so much love & prayer right now as she sadly just lost her father to old age & Alzheimer’s & her mother just had a stroke a few days after losing her father. This semester has been difficult not only for my professors but for me & fellow classmates. I’m so proud of my classmates, my professors, and me for pushing through & working hard.

 I have sadly been not going to work due to Covid-19, as I work at a local charter school I attended in middle school (the school is pre-k through 8th & I attended 5th through 8th grade) so I’ve been missing my co-workers & my children a ton which doesn’t help my mental health most days. I did get to chat with my co-workers through Zoom Tuesday afternoon & they are doing quite well so it makes me happy to hear. We have no clue when the school will re-open so for now the school remains closed.

My younger brother & I are both going through breakup emotions. He just broke up with his girlfriend due to the relationship turning toxic & unhealthy. My boyfriend & I broke up due both of us needing to work on ourselves mentally, emotionally, & physically but we are still very good friends & we do plan to get back together hopefully in the future as he is an amazing man to have in my life.

I have not seen my family since Easter! With the social distancing my family has taken it seriously as most of my family is immune compromised so it has been difficult not to see them but I talk to them daily. We are all doing really well which is great despite everything going on.

𝒜𝒸𝒸𝑜𝓊𝓃𝓉 𝒰𝓅𝒹𝒶𝓉𝑒

There is going to be a HUGE account update!

Master Lists: I have organization in my account now! I have been trying to find a way to organize my account for so long & I finally found a way! I have 2 Master Lists so far but there will probably be more in the future! They are located below the bio of my account! I will also be redoing Hashtags on my account to make the organization of my account easier which also helps my followers find posts easier.

Editing: I will be editing most of my account’s posts! I have better, more creative, & more formal styles to make my posts look more professional. That will also come along with the new posts (those will not be until editing is done).

Suggestions: I am willing to take any suggestions my followers are willing to give! I love making my account my own but also want to here what y’all want to see on my account!

𝐵𝓁𝑜𝑔 𝒰𝓅𝒹𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓈

Hey y’all! So I’ve been hanging around Tumblr and looking at accounts. I think I’m going to take time to re-do some posts, make my page more organized & clean, and finish un-finished posts. I have a lot of time on my hands now that my current college semester is coming quickly to a close & I have about 1 or 2 weeks before the next semester begins. If things start to look weird on my page I’m just re-creating my account! I love y’all!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:

The oldest parts of this tiara are from the 1800′s. The Current Duke & Duchess created another Cambridge Sapphire Tiara called the Sapphire Button Tiara.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:

The oldest parts of this tiara are from the 1800′s. The set included a Tiara, a Necklace, & a Stomacher (this could be separated into 3 different brooches). Her Majesty Queen Mary added to the rest of the set, which increased the flexibility of the set. The tiara consisted of a tiara of graduated sapphires & diamond clusters that sit on top of sapphires & diamond scrolls. The number of sapphire elements have changed over time though. This tiara can be worn with a pair of earrings, a long necklace or a shorter choker necklace, a stomacher, smaller brooches, & bracelets. Some other pieces to be worn with the tiara include detachable pendants. 

The new Sapphire Button Tiara was created from the original necklace using the five large sapphire & diamond clusters from the long necklace & were arranged on a button style frame. The tiara can be worn with a shorter necklace, earrings, & a brooch.

𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:

It is unknown about the date the original necklace was created, but the tiara was made in 1963 by Queen Elizabeth II.

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:

Before the tiara was created into a tiara, the jewels were used as a necklace or as a dress ornament for Princess Louise of Belgium. When looking at the design of the tiara, you can see the point of the tiara which is the sign of a converted necklace. The jewels stand upright on the tiara, which would have been seen as drops on a necklace.

𝐿𝒾𝒻𝑒 𝒰𝓅𝒹𝒶𝓉𝑒

Hello fellow Royal Lovers! I am back after a month long break from social media. I have been through so much in one month & 2020 is definitely been a whirlwind crazy year already! I have missed this account so much and I can’t wait to get back into things around here! Here’s a quick recap of what happened in the past month!

𝑅𝑒𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓅 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓉𝓊𝓈

I have been single for most of my life (I’ve only had two boyfriends before my new boyfriend & they both broke my heart). I had met a new man a few weeks & we seemed to really get along. We both wanted to make things serious & we hung out a few times, but... things happen. We both have had horrible luck with relationships or set ups by friends in the past. We both believe that right now is just not the time to be with each other (as we both need to work on things on ourselves & in our lives) but we both agreed to be friends and still be in each other’s lives. We do both hope to get back together in the future & we still care deeply about each other. I’m not moving on any time soon to take time to focus on myself to make myself better and just prepare for my future. I had so much fun & learned so much in these few weeks with him, so my advice... Take those chances & take those risks. Life is too short. ♥️

𝐹𝒶𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓎

I have been so in love lately being around my family as much as I have. I have been spending every Sunday at my mom’s house having dinner with all of my family, going to birthday parties for my all my cousins (I have 2 different cousins who have kids) & their children (my cousin’s son turned 1 & my cousin’s daughter is about to turn two!), & I’ve been spending a lot of my time either with my cousin or my nephew. Also my brother is also going through a break up so I’ve been spending time with him too by giving him advice from my past. My grandmother had knee surgery in the first week of March 

𝐸𝒹𝓊𝒸𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 & 𝒞𝒶𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓇

Starting in January of 2020, I officially went back to college (well taking my classes online) after taking a semester off from school & I started my first ever job in November of 2020. I have been loving both ever since! I am currently taking 2 courses: General Psychology & English Composition 2 & they are going fantastic! I have been working at a School I attended when I was a child (the school is Pre-K through 8th grade & I attended 5th through 8th grade!) & I love the children I work with dearly. Now due to coronavirus, I sadly do not get to see the kids I work with for a whole month now. I’m fortunate that coronavirus is not affecting my education though as my classes are already online. It did move around due dates though. I just hope everything gets cleared up soon and everyone can go back to normal life. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well that’s about all y’all! I’m so excited to finally be back & just be on the look out for new posts or updates! I love you all so much!

That Prince Charles is EXTREMELY picky about his Hard Boiled Eggs.

This rumor about Prince Charles originated from the book “On Royalty” by British broadcaster Jeremy Paxman. He wrote in his book that Prince Charles’s chef makes him 7 hard boiled eggs for breakfast every morning, but the Prince only eats 1 egg that is up to his cooking standard.

The Death of His Majesty King George VI

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝒸𝓁𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝓉𝒽

In 1939, The United Kingdom entered into the World War 2. The stress of the war & almost being killed at Buckingham Palace with his wife by 2 German Bombs, took a toll on King George’s health. The King began to develop many health issues, some problems like Lung Cancer coming from his heavy smoking addiction. Due to King George's declining health he had to: Postpone a tour of Australia & New Zealand in March 1949, have his daughter Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II & His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh do a month long tour of Canada after the tour had been delayed for a week in October 1951, in November 1951 the King's State Opening of Parliament had to be read by Lord Chancellor The Right Honorable Gavin Turnbull Simonds, 1st Viscount Simonds from his throne, & his 1951 Christmas Broadcast had to be recorded in sections & edited.

Lung Cancer: Lung Cancer claims more lives each year than any other cancer like prostate or breast. People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer because the chance can increase over the length of time of smoking, what you’re smoking, & how much you have smoked over that period of time. Smoking can cause damage to the cells that line the lungs & change the lung tissue. King George’s left lung was removed by Welsh thoracic surgeon Sir Clement Price Thomas, after a malignant (cancerous) tumor was found in the lung on Sunday, September 23rd, 1951.

Atherosclerosis: A build up of cholesterol plague in the walls of arteries causing obstruction of blood flow. This can cause the arteries to harden & narrow which causes the blood flow to be blocked. It’s normally what causes heart attacks & strokes. King George developed an Arterial Blockage in his right leg, which then turned to threaten his left leg but was treated with a surgical procedure called Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy in 1949.

Buerger's Disease: A rare disease of the arteries & veins in both the arms & the legs. The blood vessels become inflamed, swell, & can become blocked with blood clots. This eventually damages or destroys skin tissues & can lead to either infection or gangrene.

On Thursday, January 31st, 1952, His Majesty King George traveled to Heathrow Airport to say goodbye to Elizabeth & Phillip before they began their tour in Australia via Kenya. The King was not advised by family, friends, & his doctor to not go to the airport. That night when the King traveled to Sandringham House & went to bed, he had suffered from Coronary Thrombosis in his sleep. He was found dead the next morning.

Coronary Thrombosis: A formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel of the heart caused by a buildup of cholesterol & fats in the artery walls. This blood clot restricts blood flow within the heart & the blood will clot because there is not enough room for it to flow. The causes of CT are high LDL Cholesterol, Smoking, Sedentary Lifestyle, & Hypertension.

3 days after the King’s death, his coffin rested at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham before being laid in state in Westminster Hall at Palace of Westminster in Westminster, London. As his coffin was transferred from one location to another over 300,000 people filed past his coffin in London, including foreign royals & heads of state

His funeral took place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. At 9:30AM on Friday, February 15th, the mile long journey to Westminster Hall began. Big Ben rang 56 times & 56 artillery salutes of 56 guns were fired at both Hyde Park & The Tower of London for the age of the now deceased King. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, watched the funeral procession from a window inside Marlborough House.

In the procession walked 4 Field Marshals (Alanbrooke, Ironside, Montgomery, & Slim), 4 Admirals of the Fleet, 4 Marshals of the Royal Air Force, An Escort of The Household Cavalry, Pipers, The band of The Scots Guard, The Earl Marshal, The King’s Personal Servants, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip The Duke of Edinburgh, His Royal Highness Prince Richard The Duke of Gloucester, His Royal Highness Prince Edward VIII The Duke of Windsor, & His Royal Highness Prince Edward The Duke of Kent.

In a carriage behind the King’s Coffin were Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret The Countess of Snowdon, & Her Royal Highness Anne The Princess Royal.

The funeral procession went past St. James’s Palace, Piccadilly, Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch, Edgware Road, & Sussex Garden all the way to Paddington Station. After the coffin arrived at Paddington Station, The King was taken by train to Windsor Castle. On the coffin lay the Imperial Crown, Orb, Scepter, & a Wreath of both White Lilacs & White Carnations in the shape of the George Cross. The King was interred in the Royal Vault & was transferred to King George VI Memorial Chapel inside of St. George’s Chapel.

Hello my absolute lovely followers! I’m back! I’ve been on quite a hiatus, due to work, school, & family. My life has been so busy since 2020 started up!

February has begun y’all! Also been a busy 5 days for me! I have turned 20 years old, watched the 2020 Super Bowl on my Birthday with my family, celebrated my cousin’s baby turning 1 week old, been to a Sunday Farmer’s Market, caught a nasty sinus cold, watched Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil for the first time, gotten my nails done to celebrate my birthday, & gotten through 2 days of work this week.

Hello my royal followers! Happy 2020 Y’all! So much has happened since I last posted! I mean the drama with British royal family to begin with! Prince Andrew & then the Sussex’s?! Also The Duchess of Cambridge said William does not want a 4th child?! What?! Here’s a little update of what I’ve been up since the beginning of the year!

As y’all know, I am a college student. I’m currently in my 4th semester of college & it's going well so far. Last semester I took a gap semester break, so going back to school has been weird but good. I decided a year ago that I wanted to be a communications major, but after working at my current job where I work at a school with kids, I have decided to change my major to Elementary Education. I love my kids at work, I love talking to some of the teachers when I have questions about the kids homework even when I’m struggling with the way the kids are being taught to do certain things, & I grew up being a student at the school I now work at as an employee. I have grown to accept that I know I will become a teacher but I’m so excited for not only my future, but the future of the kids I work with. I hope I get to make an influence on children in their education one day.

The Order of the Garter was created on April 23rd, 1344 & was created to help King Edward’s claim to the French throne. The Order is dedicated to Saint George because he is the Patron Saint of England. The Most Noble Order of the Garter was inspired by the Spanish Order of the Band, which was created in 1330.

(Joanot Martorell)

(John of Gaunt Duke of Aquitaine)

(Countess Isabella of Bedford)

The earliest mention of The Most Noble Order of the Garter was mentioned in Tirant to Blanch by Joanot Martorell, a chivalric romance piece of literature (A literary genre of high culture), which was written in Catalan (Now called Valencian Language) in 1490. King Edward III’s wardrobe shows that Garter habits first issued in 1348. The Middle English poem “Sir Gawain & the Green Knight,” which was written in the late 14th century, mentions The Most Noble Order of the Garter. In the poem, a girdle is very similar to a garter (in an erotic way). The poem also mentions a different version of the Order’s motto which is written “Corsed worth cowarddyse and couetyse bope,” which translates to “Cursed be both cowardice and coveting.” The author of the poem is argued by scholars but there is a connection between two candidates: John of Gaunt Duke of Aquitaine & Enguerrand VII de Coucy. Enguerrand was married to King Edward III’s daughter Countess Isabella of Bedford & was received the Order of the Garter on their wedding day.

(King Richard 1 of England)

Various stories & legends surround the origin of The Most Noble Order of the Garter. 

The most popular story involves Catherine (Grandison) Montagu The Countess of Salisbury. It is said, that the countess’s garter slipped off from her leg, while she was dancing at a court ball that took place in Calais, France. When the garter slipped from the countess’s leg, courtiers laughed & just watched the scene happen. The King saw what had happen & returned the garter to the Countess exclaiming “Honi soit qui mal y pense!" Which translates in English to “Shame on him who thinks ill of it!” This is saying that is written on the The Most Noble Order of the Garter. 

The earliest written story dates back to the 1460′s. A garter in the mid-14th century, was seen mostly as a item of male attire. Looking back on the story, the garter (that was seen as item of female underclothing), actually has the garter stated as a symbol of a band of knights.

A 2nd story is connected to King Richard I of England. In the 12th century, King Richard was inspired by St. George the Matyr, while he was fighting in the Crusades (A series of religious wars in Western Asia & Europe between the 11th & 17th century). The king tied garters around the legs of his knights, who won the battle. King Edward, recalled the story of King Richard during the 14th century when founding the The Most Noble Order of the Garter. This story is actually recounted in a letter to the Annual Register (A long-established reference work, written and published each year, which records and analyses the year's major events, developments and trends throughout the world) that was written in 1774.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃 𝑜𝒻 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐸𝓂𝒷𝓁𝑒𝓂

The emblem for The Most Noble Order of the Garter is a garter with a written Middle French Moto that says "Honi soit qui mal y pense” which means “Shame on him who thinks evil of it” & the motto is written in gold lettering. The motto refers to King Edward’s claim to the French throne. The use of the garter with the emblem, derived from straps that are used to fasten armor & was chosen because of the tight-knit “band/bond” of Edward’s knightly cause supporters.

Each member would nominate 9 candidates who have the rank of either Earl or higher (3 members), have the rank of Baron or higher (3 members), & have the rank of Knight or higher (3 members). The Sovereign then personally chooses as many nominees that as necessary to fill any vacant spots in the current Order of the Garter. But with the nominees comes a decision. The Sovereign (He or She), are not obliged to choose the nominees who received the most nomination counts. This practice ended in 1860. Today, before receiving the The Most Noble Order of the Garter, an appointment is made with the Sovereign (A.K.A: The Queen) at sole discretion.

(The Right Honorable Clement Attlee 1st Earl of Attlee)

(The Right Honorable Sir Winston Churchill)

During the 18th century, the Sovereign would choose those to serve on The Most Noble Order of the Garter, by the advice of the current Government. In 1946, membership of the United Kingdom’s highest ranking orders of Chivalry (The Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, The Most Noble Order of the Garter, & Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle) became a personal choice of the Sovereign once again, with the joint agreement of Prime Minister The Right Honorable Clement Attlee 1st Earl of Attlee & The Leader of the Opposition The Right Honorable Sir Winston Churchill.

The person being appointed to the Order is announced on April 23rd which is known as St. George’s Day. When created, it was said that the original status required that each member of the Order already be a knight (now referred to as a Knight Bachelor). The initial members were knighted the year, the order was created.

Along with the Founder, Ladies Companion of the Garter, & The Original Members of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter, there is another group of members who receive this honor. These members are called Supernumerary Members & they are the members who do not count towards the limit of the 24 Living Family Members/Companions but are in association of the Order. These members can also be referred to Royal Knights & Ladies of the Garter.

(His Majesty King George I of Great Britain)

(His Majesty King George II of Great Britain)

(His Majesty King George III of The United Kingdom)

(His Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander I of Russia)

These titles were created by His Majesty King George III of The United Kingdom in 1786 but didn’t create the statute of Supernumerary Members until 1805. He created the title of Supernumerary Members, so that his sons didn’t count toward the 24 companion limit. King George created the statute of members, so that any descendant of His Majesty King George II of Great Britain, could not be installed in The Most Noble Order of the Garter as such a member. 8 years later in 1813, during the reign of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander I of Russia, a membership of being a supernumerary member was extended to foreign monarchs. These members were known as Stranger Knights & Ladies of the Garter. The Statute of Supernumerary Members was put back into play in 1831 & extended to all descendants of His Majesty King George I of Great Britain. In 1954, each installation into The Most Noble Order of the Garter, required an enactment of the statute. The statute authorizes the regular admission of Stranger Knights & Ladies of the Garter without further special enactments.

The Degradation of a Member of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter is a big issue, but can be done by the current Sovereign. This began in the late 15th century. 

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒟𝑒𝑔𝓇𝒶𝒹𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒫𝓇𝑜𝒸𝑒𝓈𝓈

During the 15th century, The Degradation of a Member of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter was a formal ceremony. The Garter King of Arms is accompanied by the rest of the members at St. George’s Chapel. The Garter of Arms reads aloud the reason for degradation as a member climbs up a ladder to remove the former knights banner, crest, helm, & sword into the choir. The other members then lead the degraded knight down the length of the chapel, out the doors, & into the castle ditch. 

𝐿𝒾𝓈𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝒟𝑒𝑔𝓇𝒶𝒹𝑒𝒹 𝑀𝑒𝓂𝒷𝑒𝓇𝓈

During World War 1, a total of 8 knights were degraded from their positions: 2 Royal Knights & 6 Stranger Knights. These knights were rulers, monarchs, or princes of enemy nations in 1915.

Fashion Rules of the Men of The British Royal Family

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒫𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 & 𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓇𝓉𝓈

Boys never wear pants! When a boy is going through his toddler years, he is never allowed to wear pants. Boys wear smart shorts when attending public events, but don’t were pants until they’re about 8 years old. The tradition of young boys wearing shorts, dates all the way back to the 16th century. This tradition is called the practice of breeching, which is when a toddler grows out of wearing traditional gowns & moves onto wearing breeches.

As British Etiquette Expert William Hanson explained, “Trousers are for older boys & men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent markers that that we have in England. A pair of trousers on a young boy is considered middle class —quite suburban. And no self-respecting aristo or royal would be considered suburban. The usual custom is that a boy graduated to trousers around 8 years old.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐵𝓁𝒶𝒸𝓀

When on a Royal Tour, it is extremely rare to see a royal wearing black as part of their fashion plan. Each royal, must carry a black outfit while traveling outside of the country, in case of an emergency like a family member dying. The black outfit being packed is helpful so that when they arrive back in England, they are dressed appropriately. Outside of a death, wearing black is a major fashion rarity for men. The color is mostly worn on Remembrance Day or in a men’s tux.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Military Uniforms are the most common & customary outfit worn by the men & women of the British Royal Family. They are worn at the most formal of events like Trooping of the Color & Weddings. This has been a tradition since the 19th Century & Her Royal Highness Anne The Princess Royal is the first royal woman to dress in a military uniform since Queen Elizabeth I in 1588.

Examples of Military Uniform Events:

Weddings: 

1. Prince William (2011) - Tunic of the Colonel of the Irish Guard, one of two Irish infantry regiments in the British Army. The buttons on William’s tunic were arranged in groups of four to show the Irish Guard as the fourth of the Foot Guards regiments to be established. Over his tunic, William wore his garter sash, garter star, his pilot’s wings (to represent his service in the Royal Air Force), & a Golden Jubilee medal.

2. Prince Harry (2018) - A Single Breasted Frockcoat of the Blues & Royals, a a cavalry regiment & the second most senior regiment in the British Army. Harry wore a major’s uniform instead of a general’s uniform, as Harry is the Captain General of the Royal Marines. The now Duke had to seek approval from the Queen herself for permission to wear the uniform. On his chest, Harry wore pilot’s wings, which represent his time serving in the Army Air Corps. Harry’s trousers, were made from blue and black wool barathea & featured red panelling, a leather strap, & a buckle below the boot traditionally worn when on horseback.

Denim: A non-preferred but not forbidden piece of clothing.

Denim is not seen being worn often by British royal men or women, as its a go-to item when attending events or just being out in public. When choosing to be in a more casual outfit, royals typically go trousers & khaki pants. Days spent in the English countryside are always in a relaxed but polished dress code like Wax Jackets, Tweed Flat Hats, or Wool Coats. Denim is fine, if royals are just walking the grounds of the different estates, like for example if they go walking the dogs for their daily walks. Denim is now typically worn in private at home settings.

It is a rule in most militaries (Australia, Colombian Navy, Finland, India, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, Nepal, Norway, Pakistan, Royal Life Guards of Denmark, Serbia, South Korea, Sweden, Syria, Turkey, & United States of America: Most of these countries will let the men grow a mustache that is neatly kept but a beard is only allowed to be grown with special permission for health/religion reasons), the mean must be cleaned shaven. With the British Military, as long as the mens facial hair is neat & tidy they are allowed to have facial hair like beards, sideburns, & mustaches. Prince Phillip & Prince Harry, both grew out their facial hair while in service. Queen Elizabeth is not a fan & intensely dislikes facial hair, expecting royal men to remove it sooner than later.

You don’t typically see the British Royal Family wearing bright out there colors except for the Queen. When not at a very formal event, the family is generally wearing muted down colors, mostly in a palette of crisp whites, navy blues, or pale grey. Morning Coats are in either black or charcoal color & trousers must be grey but have a checked or striped pattern. Turndown collar shirts must be white or pastel & can be worn with a grey or buff colored waistcoat. Ties must be grey but can be in lighter colors.

Men do follow a dress code for certain types of days. When being out in a more casual setting, royals typically go trouser, cardigans, blazers, polo shirts, button down shirts, & khaki pants. 

Days spent in the English countryside are always in a relaxed but polished dress code like Wax Jackets, Tweed Flat Hats, or Wool Coats. 

For a Morning Dress Day like Christmas, men will wear a Turndown Collar Shirt, a Tie, a Waistcoat, a Cutaway Tailcoat, & Striped Trousers. A Morning Coat is a single breasted coat with a single button closure & peaked lapel. Turndown Collar Shirts, can be replaced with a single-cuffed shirt worn with a detachable wing collar & a waistcoat. Accessories include top hats, pocket squares, & gloves.  

For evening formal events, men will wear tuxedo suits.

Each of the royal men have a personal style of their own, that is worked into their everyday wear. These are called Small Accents. For Prince William, it’s his Wellington Boots, for Prince Harry it’s his Persol Sunglasses, & for Prince Charles its locally made attire.

The Death of His Majesty King George V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝒸𝓁𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝓉𝒽

George V had developed a lot of health problems after the First World War & it took a toll on him. George was injured on Thursday, October 28th, 1915 when he was thrown from a horse & he also developed Chronic Bronchitis from his heavy smoking addiction. 10 years later in 1925, he was sent on a cruise to the Mediterranean which was used to help him recuperate. 

3 years later in 1929, he developed an illness called Sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition for when the body’s response to an infection causes injuries to both the tissues & the organs. The King’s body never recovered from years of illness & injury, so in last year of life, he was administered oxygen.

 6 years later, when George’s sister Her Royal Highness The Princess Victoria died, it sent the King into a deep state of depression. 1 year after his sister’s death on January 15th, 1936, George went to his bedroom at Sandringham House, complaining of a cold. The cold turned the King’s body for the worst, as he became weaker & would drift in & out of consciousness. George’s nurse Catherine Black & physician Lord Dawson of Penn, gave him a sedative the night of his death which consisted of 3/4 gram of morphine & 1 gram of cocaine. The family did not approve of the injection but also did not want the King’s death to be painful & slow.

Declining Health & Lethal Injection

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝐹𝓊𝓃𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁

As the King’s health declined, multiple close sources of the King’s came forward with updates on his decline. 

The first source was Prime Minister Baldwin who wrote, “Each time he became conscious it was some kind inquiry or kind observation of someone, some words of gratitude for kindness shown. But he did say to his secretary when he sent for him: "How is the Empire?" An unusual phrase in that form, and the secretary said: "All is well, sir, with the Empire", and the King gave him a smile and relapsed once more into unconsciousness.”

The second source was Lord Dawson of Penn (The King’s Physician) who issued a bulletin that had “The King's life is moving peacefully towards its close,” written on it. Lord Dawson also kept updates in journals with the King’s last words written in it which were “God Damn You,” which was said to his nurse Catherine Black. He also said he wanted the injection to happen at night, so that the death of the King could make the morning edition of British Newspaper The Times.

British Pathé News announced the King’s death, the next morning & described the King as “More than a King, a father of a great family.” BBC Studios was next for the broadcast, as German composer Paul Hindemith & English Conductor Adrian Boult along with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, performed a Mourning Music that evening.

The night before the funeral, the King’s sons’ His Royal Highness Edward The Duke of Windsor, His Majesty King George (Albert) VI, & His Royal Highness Henry The Duke of Gloucester, mounted the Vigil of the Princes guard at the Catafalque. The sons did this in respect to their father who was now gone. The King was lied in state at Westminster Hall but was interred at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, January 28th, 1936.

I was accepted into my first ever job y’all! I work in the school I grew up going to (the school is pre-k through 8th grade: I attended for 5th through 8th grade) & now that I’m an alumni, I am working in the after school program! Each grade is divided up & has 1 or 2 staff members that helps them with homework, passes out snack, & entertains the kids whether it’s taking them outside to play after homework & snack or letting them do arts & crafts! I’m in charge of 2nd & 3rd grade, but I have covered for the girls of Kindergarten & 1st grade. My kiddos are so great at work & I absolutely adore them! I’m currently on holiday break for 2 weeks from work until the school goes back for the new year! I did get my first ever paycheck too!

My family is doing well & everyone is thriving! I got my first job & first paycheck, I got back into baking (my number 1 hobby besides social media), my cousin & her boyfriend are due in 4 weeks with their first born son, my cousin & I go back to college on January 13th, my brother & his girlfriend go back to school on January 6th, my brother & his girlfriend both got into their dream colleges, my dad started his own business & is loving it (He now works 2 jobs: his day job & his own business), I got a ton of money & gift cards from family for gifts (plus my paycheck from my job) so now I’m finally able to start paying for my own stuff, & just so much more is coming for my family in the future!

2019 was honestly a good year but was also a dangerously dark year (I haven’t had a dark year since 2012 & 2014) for me. 2020 is my year of flourishing in my college career, my new job, fixing relationships with friends & family that can be fixed, throwing away relationships that I know can never be fixed with toxic family & friends, working harder on my social media (when I have time between work, school, & keeping my own personal life organized), & just focusing on me. I already sat down with my mom & we came up with a plan for the rest of my years at community college so I know what to do when I go to get my bachelor’s at a 4 year university, I will be practicing for my driver’s license, working on losing weight with my mom, watching my family & friends flourish in their current/future careers & lives, figuring out a beauty routine (skin & hair care & makeup), & just seeing where opportunities in 2020 can take me when I work hard & put in my potential.
