Royals On Screen

Hello!

In this post, I am going to tell you about some documentaries, movies and TV Shows about the British Royal Family.

 The Crown
The Crown is a historical drama series on Netflix.It is a biographical show about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, with the first season covering her marriage to Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh to the break up of her sister Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend's engagement. Two seasons have aired and they have been very well received. The Queen and other members of the Royal family have watched and are fans of the show.

Monarchy: The Royal Family At Work
This is a documentary which follows the British Royal Family while they work for a year. Viewers get to be a fly on the wall of The Queen's state visit to the United States, a state banquet and inner workings of Buckingham Palace, a weekend with former Prime Minister Tony Blair, a garden party and other events. 


The Royals
A five-part documentary series about the royal family. Each episode covers one topic through the generations: weddings, funerals, teens, babies and pets. It includes interviews with experts, historic videos and modern footage. 

Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute 
On the eve of the queen's 90th birthday, members of the royal family talk about her and share rarely seen home videos. 

Diana Queen of Hearts, Her True Story
This is a biographical film about the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, from her childhood to her relationship and marriage to Prince Charles. It shows deeply troubled and unhappy times with her eating disorder and the break down of their marriage. 

William and Kate
Another biographical film which was released just before the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. It tells the story of William and Kate's nine-year courtship from meeting at St Andrew's University in 2001 to their engagement in 2010. 


The Queen 
This movie depicts the royal family's response to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in August 1997. Helen Mirren stars as Queen Elizabeth II. It exceeded box-office expectations and received many awards. This is my favourite film about the royals and I highly recommend that everyone watches it. 


Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance 
A film about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship. It was just released on 13th May, just a week before their wedding on Saturday. 


Thank you,

Vishi xoxo

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
