On June 6, 2012, an important three-day conference began at Kensington Palace in London. Scholars from around the world, including Harvard University Professor Maya Jasanoff and Princeton University Professor Sir David Cannadine, gathered to discuss the, “... British monarchy and its relationship to the modern world.”
Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you are having a great day so far. 🙂 Anyway, here is this week’s edition of the Dutch program, Blauw Bloed.
In this episode host, Jeroen Snel, covers Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands visit to Turkey, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Duchess of Cambridge in Nottingham, the Earl and Countess of Wessex in Gibraltar, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco hosting a cocktail reception at the Palais, Princess Maxima at Pop in the School, and much more.
Here is the History Channel’s well-known documentary, Russia: Land of the Tsars. If you have never seen this long program I highly recommend that you watch it. It’s incredibly fascinating. 🙂
Here is the 2002 documentary entitled, The King, The Kaiser and The Tsar. The program, which eventually became a book by Ms. Catrine Clay, examines the:
… precarious position of European royalty at the turn of the 20th century, principally George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II, and how, after the First World War, George V was the only one remaining on the throne. The documentary provides a historical background to Stephan Poliakoff’s drama, ‘The Lost Prince.’
