Royal Houses section updated
It had been a while since I updated the Royal Houses section. With the latest changes of throne in Denmark and Malaysia, it was about time to do something about it. It turned out most pages hadn’t been updated since 2020. I only didn’t have a look at the links at the bottom. Lately I […]

Mastodon didn’t really work for me, BlueSky is a bit better and I found […]
My Portuguese wedding article in Royalty
Back already from Portugal for a whole month. Lisbon had been on my to-do-list for much too long, so I took the opportunity to go when there was one.

25 years NettyRoyal
