Chasing the Royals: The Media and The Monarchy is an interesting yet very creepy documentary, by John Curtin, that recently aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The film focuses on the relationship between the British royal family and their BFFs… the paparazzi and the tabloid magazines.
I sense a 2011 Oscar nomination for best documentary next year. Pfft.
Anyway…

On June 22, 1982, the American television program, 20/20, interviewed H.S.H. Princess Grace of Monaco two and a half months before her death on September 14, 1982.
This in-depth interview with journalist Pierre Salinger is quite interesting to say the least. The late Princess discussed her life in Monaco, her family, the United States, her friends, her movie career, and much, much more.
So, if you have never seen this interview please click these links and enjoy: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, and Part Six.

Besides His Majesty King George III, King Richard III, and Queen Elizabeth I, the history of Edward, Duke of Windsor has always fascinated me. Any way, here is an eleven part biased documentary entitled, Edward VIII: The Traitor King. Enjoy!
Here is a clip whereupon Edward, Duke of Windsor recalls his first encounter with his soon-to-be wife, Wallis Simpson. Click to watch: Duke and Duchess of Windsor
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor at the Queen Mary Memorial Unveiling in 1967.
Finally, if you have never read the book, A King\’s Story by HRH The Duke of Windsor I highly recommend you do.
There is a semi-new documentary about the future Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, and the future Queen of England, Catherine Middleton, that perhaps some of you have may never seen.
La Monarchie: Le Fabuleux Destin de Kate et Charlene recently aired on French television and now it is available on Daily Motion. Unfortunately, the French commentator, Stéphane Bern (yeah, he’s a total tool, a wannabe Historian, and a brown noser from Hell), is apart of the series. Barf. Any way, please click the link to watch: Part One (begins at the 4:24 mark) and Part Two
The series is quite interesting so enjoy! 🙂
Also, there is a nice radio interview with Charlene Wittstock from Talk Radio 702.co.za (South Africa). Click to listen: Interview with Charlene Wittstock

While in South Africa, these past few weeks, Charlene Wittstock sat down with journalist Derek Watts from the news program, Carte Blanche.
In a special two-part interview Miss Wittstock discusses her life in Monaco, how she met HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, her swimming career, and much more.
Overall, she did a great job. Charlene looked completely relaxed and calm, and essentially came off as being a nice person.
