in PART ONE our special edition of THE ROYAL TIMES released this week, we chose to explore the inspiring faces of the lgbtq+ community from the royal families around the world. from guatemala to south korea to egypt and beyond, we’re shining the spotlight on royals that break the mold.
we’re presenting ten different covers this month, each with a different LGBT royal gracing our magazine, alongside a round table chat with all ten together. we’re aiming to cover the issues that lgbt royals still face and the ways in which their situations can improve - both domestically and internationally.
