Edward Vii: Last News

Royal biographer Angela Levin, who has recently published a book on Queen Consort Camilla, has hit back at those she accuses of being cruel to the royal, including step-son Prince Harry. The journalist and biographer appeared on this morning’s Lorraine with stand-in host Christine Lampard to talk candidly about Camilla, following the release of her new biography Camilla, From Outcast to Future Queen Consort.

The Crown, which wrapped up its six-season run on Netflix at the end of last year, has been subject of a slew of royal rumors regarding spinoffs.

It is well-known that members of the Royal Family enjoy some of the most unique past times - from polo to carriage driving. But even some of the most privileged people in the world enjoy normal hobbies too as it seems stamp collecting has proved to be a therapeutic activity for many royals over the years. As ordinary as this sounds, in true royal fashion the family’s stamp collection is valued at an astounding £100 million.

It's well known that the Royal Family have some very expensive pastimes from polo and carriage driving to grouse hunting.

It is no secret that the Royal Family enjoy some exclusive past times - from polo and carriage driving to grouse hunting. But even some of the most privileged people in the world enjoy normal hobbies too as it seems stamp collecting has proved to be a therapeutic activity for many royals over the years.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be crowned on May 6 coronation.

Since acceding to the throne upon the death of his mother, King Charles III must now face a raft of changes to his day to day life, ranging from added responsibilities as the sovereign through to relocating to a new residence as he takes on his new role. Yet one change he may welcome, is the celebration of two birthdays, as the former Prince of Wales follows in his mother’s footsteps and adopts the royal tradition first introduced 250 years ago.

The story of the Queen’s forgotten uncle, Prince George is so far-fetched, movie producers wouldn’t touch the script with a barge-pole. Story plots of Netflix blockbuster Bridgerton seem tame in comparison to the real-life exploits of Prince George.

Variety.While “The Crown” covers Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding in 1947 and her reign from the 1950s to the present day, the new show would look into the earlier events of the family’s tumultuous history.The series would reportedly dive into the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, and then into the dynasties of four British kings: Edward VII (1901-1910), George V (1910-1936), Edward VIII (1936) and George VI (1936-1952).These rulers governed the UK and the country’s Commonwealth realms from the period after Victoria and up to the start of Queen Elizabeth’s monarchy in 1952.The outlet reported that the new show has not been greenlighted nor is it in production as of yet.According to the Daily Mail, though, the prequel would run for about three to five seasons.In earlier seasons of “The Crown,” Jared Harris played King George VI, while Alex Jennings and Derek Jacobi both appeared as King Edward VIII.Jennings, 64, originated the role of the controversial Duke of Windsor for Seasons 1 and 2. Jacobi, 83, took over for Season 3, portraying the royal in his older years.George VI and King Edward VIII famously had a contentious relationship, with the latter abdicating the throne after less than a year in power back in 1936 so he could marry his beloved Wallis Simpson.

As well as the fancy jewels, palaces and trips around the world, one of the big perks of being Queen is getting two birthdays.
