In 2017, Netflix released this series about the reign of Queen Elizabeth and her family. Honestly, I didn’t have much of an idea of how and why she became queen at such a young age. To me, she’d always been the grandmother figure. So this series was completely engrossing. Turns out she wasn’t supposed to be queen at all (you knew that though, right?). When her uncle Edward abdicated in order to marry American divorcee, Wallis Simpson, Elizabeth’s father, George VI became king. What a great story line. Now, if you are thinking, but Amanda, I don’t have Netflix. That’s ok. NPL has all four current seasons so you can get caught up on all the royal history. I’ve heard rumblings that Season 5 will be out soon. Season 6 was apparently in production when the recent events happened but they’ve paused to do a bit of a rewrite. This should give you plenty of time to do your homework.
This is just a brief sampling of the most recent royal items. NPL has lots of items about Queen Elizabeth and her family that you might find interesting. Explore a little today.
Happy royalizing…
