It was ten years ago that she celebrated her Golden Jubilee - and mourned the death of her mother and sister.
All written accounts of the royal lives indicate that the Queen Mother was a kind, loving parent who always had the best interests of her children in mind.
These same biographies are also universal in their appreciation for the talent, wit, and charm that was the essence of Princess Margaret. With her honor bound devotion to duty and serious nature, the Queen must surely miss the humor and spontaneity that her sister...

It seems that all royal news links posted between October 1, 2010 and March 3, 2012 have mysteriously disappeared. We are sorry about this inconvenience and are investigating the cause.

“I am going now into the sleep:
O be it in Thy dear arm’s keep,
O God of grace, that I shall awake.”
According to the account of her niece, Margaret Rhodes, that old Celtic prayer was read to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother by her parish priest shortly before her death at the Royal Lodge, Windsor, on the afternoon of 30 March 2002. Although her eyes were closed, the grand old lady squeezed the priest’s hand, acknowledging the prayer. A while later, with her daughter the Queen, her Snowdon grandchildren, and her niece (Mrs. Rhodes) near at hand she passed through the veil into the “Nearer Presence” of God. She had lived 101 years, 7 months, and 26 days.
The Queen Mother’s death occurred, of course, during the...

As of January 1st 2012 Deven Mercer (DKM on the forum) will become the new owner of Unofficial Royalty. We are now in the process of setting up the move. Should this result in unavailability of (parts of) the site, we will let you know. It has been a great pleasure for me to set up the site almost 17 years ago and I am very pleased to hand it over to somebody who has been part of the website since the very beginning!
Kind regards,
