Together with the Danish people, NettyRoyal and royal […]

Longtime fans of Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge, seem to have turned to Meghan Markle, and it clearly is hardly allowed to like both of them. It shouldn’t really have surprised me. In the early […]
How could I forget I bought one more magazine and a royal book in Denmark. I don’t have all the Danish royal yearbooks, but I come close. Luckily a friend of mine bought “Kongehuset 2015” for me, and all I had to do was pick it up when I was in Denmark earlier this month. […]
