I was tagged by the beautiful Sadies-Royal-Smorgasbord :) My answers are under the cut!!
1. What book had the biggest impact on you? (does not have to be Royal related but can be if you want it to)
Harry Potter, hands down. There's just something about being young and constantly needing to read.... it's just a wonderful series!
2. What is your least favourite trait you see in yourself?
I procrastinate everything. EVERYTHING I tell you!!
3. What motivates you?
Honestly, I don't know. I was asked this at work not long ago and I have really no idea. If I like something, I just work at it.
4. Do you think it’s important to study history? Explain.
1578476549%. I know it can be boring sometimes, but it's always a wonderful thing to know why things are the way they are today.
5. Do you think Monarchies have a place in today’s society?
I think it's hard to say, especially living in a country that decided they didn't want to be under a monarch. They're relevant to me because I enjoy learning about them and their history.
6. What past Royal (excluding Diana and Grace) do you think had the biggest impact on the world?
On the world.... well in my 23 years, I've not seen many royals pass, and the only death I've seen that really effected many people was Diana's. For that reason, I'm going to go with Queen Victoria.... I just feel like she had a lot going on. And I could be (and probably am) completely wrong so don't hate me if I am!
7. How do you think having a Royal Family changes the perception of a country?
I think it's probably assumed that having a royal family means that the sovereign is still completely in charge. Obviously, I know that's not the case, but I'm sure some people don't have any idea.
8. What era of dress do you like the most? Conversely, which era do you least like?
I love everything about the late 1800s, early 1900s. Dislike everything during Marie Antoinette's time... I just can't handle the ginormous everything
9. If you could adopt one thing from a Royal Family — what would it be and why?
Hmmm that's a tough one. I just feel like I want to have the drive that they do. It's hard, when working from 8-5 five days a week, to have the drive to help others. Not that I don't want to, I think I just don't have the energy. I don't know if this answers the question at all, but it's all I can think of haha
10. Which country should bring back their Royal Family and why?
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I want to say the Italians, only because there was a bit of dispute between two of the families claiming to be the right family, so I'd just love to see that play out :)
11. Which country should change their Royal Family and why?
I'm actually debating between two: the Spanish & the Monegasque Princely. Now, I don't necessarily want the ENTIRE family to change, just a few :)
MY QUESTIONS:
Favorite tiara OR parure set.
You have 24 hours to spend with your favorite royal, past or present. Who is it and what would you do with/to them?
Alcoholic beverage of choice? Only answer if you’re of age to drink in your country. If you aren’t, you’re favorite non-alcoholic beverage.I’m only asking because I’m currently drinking my favorite beer and am of age.
If you could bring back one royal family that’s been diposed, which would it be and WHY?
Who is your favorite royal and WHY? And your answer can’t be ‘ohh I just really like them’ or ‘ohh they’re super pretty’ or ‘I really like their glasses.’ WHAT DO THEY DO THAT INTERESTS YOU?!
Which royal(s) do you hate to love?
What do you love most about where you’re from?
You get engaged to a royal and need to start looking into organizations to, eventually, become patron of. Explain what those organization are.
You’re raging with the royals tonight. Which royal are you getting wasted with? Hooking up with? Trying to ditch? Driving you home?
Which royal closet do you want to invade?
Who’s your favorite super hero?
Love everyone that's participated in this game so far! :)
