Edward & Harry: Giving Up the Crown
They say history often repeats itself. And when we look at the lives of Edward VIII, the King never crowned, and his great grandnephew Prince Harry, the unconventional spare, you can’t help but notice the surprising parallels between the two. Both modern in how they approached royal life, with personal lives full of gossip and scandal, it was ultimately love, for American socialite Wallis Simpson & actress Megan Markle that drew Edward & Harry away from their duty.
The Legacy of Queen Elizabeth II
At 21 years old, the young Princess Elizabeth, who would become our Queen, dedicated her life to the service of her people and the Commonwealth. For the next 75 years, her majesty conducted herself with grace, dignity and determination to fulfil her duty. Over her 70-year reign, her life was put on hold, bound by the promise she made; solely committed to the people she served. As the world around her changed, she remained a constant beacon of stability. The Queen didn’t just live through history, she was history. Her longevity on the throne made her the cornerstone of our modern world, a common thread weaved through an ever-changing society, that held us all together. In her death, we remember the accidental Queen who became the world’s most popular monarch. Her legacy remains forever as the extraordinary woman who helped steer Britain - and the world - through the ups and downs of the last century.

Princess Diana: Life After the Palace
Throughout the 80s and 90s, there was one name and one face you couldn’t avoid. Diana, Princess of Wales. When her whirlwind marriage and subsequent divorce from Prince Charles thrust her into the public spotlight, she took it in her stride and grew into her new role as a global celebrity. When freed from the shackles of royal restrictions, Diana’s life after the palace allowed her to connect with millions of people worldwide as a mother, humanitarian and fashion icon. Her unrivalled capacity for moving the dial and changing the narrative on causes and issues she cared about became the catalyst that legitimised her posthumous sobriquet, the People’s Princess. And even today, 25 years on, Diana’s legacy continues to influence people worldwide, and she remains one of the most popular members of the royal family.
