Welcome to my blog dedicated to my group of dandy royals.

Here you will can find articles, short stories, curiosities and other about Windsors-Mountbattens (in particular Edward VIII, aka David, and his circle,Dickie Mountbatten included) Ludwig II, OTMA, Empress Sisi and others that will come.

I am writing about non conventional royals,the ones hitting my fantasy and lightening my interest.

In time an interest might grow and another might fade: it will be just my Muse being capricious as usual.

Hope you'll like it.

I think she doesn't need presentations, right? That's Yola Letellier. She was Dickie Mountbatten's lover for nearly 30 years, even if Yola lived in France most of the time. She is described as the one always encouraging Dickie, way different from Edwina, with who Dickie often felt bit in competition. It seems Edwina and persons close to Dickie knew about Yola and she was invited in family events too. An androgynous beauty, she was said to be the inspiration for Colette's Gigi. #yolaletellier #dickiemountbatten #louismountbatten #lordmountbatten #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/dandyroyals/p/CY9Ft2rM7XO/?utm_medium=tumblr
