Thus far I have never used ChatGPT, but maybe I should sometimes after reading this review. Kathleen from All About Royal Families wrote this review with the tool (I only translated it into English). By the way, she says, she is currently figuring out how to use it. Thank you! Both NettyRoyal and On Royal […]
Going through the old messages on this blog, I passed this one from early February 2013: celebrating 33 years as a royalty watcher. Since, 12 years have passed, so now it is 45 years.

You might have noticed, the “old” website and blog once again moved to https://nettyroyalblog.nl/ a few weeks ago. This weekend I finished the new site at https://nettyroyal.nl/, focussing on my work as a royal correspondent. There are also a few more serious and extensive articles I wrote in recent years already. These will disappear from […]
In 2024, I continued working as a freelance royalty journalist for the Danish press agency dana press photo a/s. To my delight, more of my articles were published in the Dutch magazines Royalty and De Oranjes. On 12 December 2024 I have registered NettyRoyal at the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands. In the coming […]

Much less visitors for NettyRoyal in 2023, but I can’t say I have been very active myself. Here is the top 10 of posts in 2023:
At the end of a year it is always fun to see what you achieved. There are apps that let you see which nine Instagram posts were doing best. NettyRoyal received 4k likes in 2023 to 88 posts, which is an average of 45 likes per post. That’s 6% of 768 followers liking my posts […]

With Twitter slowly dying (I refuse calling the platform X), because of a lot of decisions by Elon Musk, I am among the many people, that try to find another way of keeping in touch with royalty watchers and fellow journalists. Mastodon didn’t really work for me, BlueSky is a bit better and I found […]
