People will say we're in love.




Cherish Lilibet? I wonder if that word is enough to express all within me. - Prince Philip. This blog is dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip and their family. The romance between the then Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip changed not only their lives but the monarchy forever. Their love is inspirational, life long and heartwarming - after 65 years marriage they remain as in love as the day they shared their vows. He is someone who doesn’t take easily to compliments, but he has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years.- Queen Elizabeth II





royal-confessions: [Post by Mary] “I sometimes wonder if Edward VIII felt any guilt over George VI’s early death.” — Submitted by Anonymous People will always blame the Duke of Windsor for Bertie’ death because when he came to the throne his stress level went up, as did the amount he smoked, which eventually took it’s toll and contributed to the taking of his life so early. Did David feel guilty? I’m sure he did, a little bit, but it really wasn’t his fault, Bertie dealt with his stress - though God knows I adore the man - in an unhealthy way and sadly he lost his life for it.

Royals I love: The Duke and Duchess of Windsor (♥) 

But you must believe me when I tell you that I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love. - The Duke of Windsor during his abdication speech.



Sometimes I feel like I see things others don’t. 

After the urgings of my friend and history course buddy, I’ve been reading up on Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII and on their tags I see all the time that they ‘didn’t love each other’, ‘they were using each other’ etc.. and now, even at the start of my research, I sit here and wonder how can people say that? They were so obviously in love.
