Royal Fandom Positivity Project ↠ [95/∞]

Melisa is exactly what she claims to be and that is a rarity in the royal fandom these days @iloveroyalfamilies

I’ve never interacted with Melisa and I imagine we’d have very different views on a lot of things if we did. But I can’t deny the fairness with which she blogs. Her blog is full of posts about all royals from all families, not just European. If you scroll through her blog you’ll get a post about Sophie, next to one about Masako, next to Letizia or Mette-Marit. The amount of time it must take to keep up to date with all of these posts is insane and I have so much respect for the effort Melisa must put into her blog.

6: Your ideal Royal wedding tiara.

This is very difficult for me! My overall ideal tiara would be Empress Josephine of France's Diamond Faberge Tiara.

P.S. The tiara is currently on display in the Faberge exhibit in the Houston Museum of Natural Sciene. I highly recommend the exhibit! It also includes a lot of pieces previously owned by the last Imperial Russian family, the Romanovs. Here is a video from a similar exhibit that came to the museum in 2009.

7: Favourite Royal spouse.

I love pretty much every Royal and Royal spouse, but Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh (UK) has always been a favorite.

Probably something with real/sugar flowers, five to seven layers, and either ivory or ivory and colored icing.

Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work is one of my favorites.

8) Do you think that all Monarchs should serve in the military before coming to the throne?

9) Who is/are your favorite non-titled Royals?
