Royal Life Issue 69

From the publisher

Welcome to Royal Life presents Royal Britain, a magazine celebrating the joys of a delightfully diverse and bewilderingly beautiful country with a unique charm that captivates almost anyone who visits, or is lucky enough to call it home.

In this first issue as Royal Britain, we mark the 100th anniversary of Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, the largest and most famous dolls’ house in the world which is on display throughout the year for visitors to Windsor Castle to enjoy.

Fans of Julian Fellowes’ hit TV series, Downton Abbey, will likely know the show is filmed at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, but the opulent Jacobean estate has a rich history that extends long before England’s Edwardian era which we uncover in this issue.

And as with every issue, we continue to bring you all the latest news on the activities of today’s British Royal Family and meet a new Royal Warrant Holder, this time Valvona & Crolla Ltd – a small island of Italian paradise in Edinburgh.

Our main feature is Windsor Castle, built by William the Conqueror, whose resounding triumph over King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 marked the dawn of a new era. This is also the dawn of a new era for Royal Life presents Royal Britain, and we’re sure you will agree that this issue is packed with fascinating features that all Royal fans will enjoy!
