RBN Royal Book News

Some of my readers may not know that I have another blog, RBN Royal Book News, where I review books about royals and royalty. The blog is the successor to my eponymous newsletter that I began in 1983 and was published for 25 years.

I have been doing the Royal Musings and Royal Book News blogs since 2008. I do not have a paywall or charge for reading articles. I enjoy writing and researching and reading. I devote a fair amount of time to the blog. No expectations or obligations when reading Royal Musings or Royal Book News - but if you enjoy either or both blogs, feel free to make a donation. Or not, course. Thank you very much.

I still have the Amazon adverts. I make pennies off any Amazon sale (not just books) if you enter through one of my book links or the search boxes on the right side of the blogs

Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich of Russia & Countess Sophie von Merenberg

Now available for purchase: a well-researched, footnoted article on the life of Grand Duke Michael Mikahilovich of Russia, whose marriage to Countess Sophie von Merenberg was unequal, but a love match. I wrote this piece some years ago for Royalty Digest, and now again available. The price is $5.00 (and will be sent to you as a PDF). Just click on the Buy Now link for purchase. Thanks.









The Gleichens: the Unknown Royal Cousins



My article, The Gleichens: the Unknown Royal Cousins, is now available through Kindle on Amazon, in all the Amazons' Kindle stores. This link is for US Amazon. The price is $9.99. Just visit your Amazon and go to the Kindle store, search for my article. The article runs more than 50 pages! And who were the Gleichens: Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (nephew of Queen Victoria) and his family. His marriage to Lady Laura Seymour was considered unequal, and his wife and children were created Countesses and Count Gleichen. A German title but very English people .... Feodora, Edward, Valda and Helena .. all talented and interesting people. True junior royals.

The Gleichens: the Unknown Royal Cousins

If you do not have Kindle, you can purchase the article from me via Paypal ($10.00) and it will be sent as a PDF.
