My take on Royal Movies...
I know some people love royal movies, and others do not. For me, it just depends on the individual movie. I always thought the Princess Diaries movies were cute, and Hallmark's A Princess for Christmas is still one of my all-time favorites, along with Crown for Christmas.
While I'm not a royal watcher in real life by any means, I do enjoy the elegant fashions, and the traditional customs are interesting to see occasionally from a distance. Over the years, as most of us know, there has been a lot of drama, sadness, and happy times within Queen Elizabeth's and Prince Phillip's families. Since their passing and the end of Queen Elizabeth's reign on the throne for 70 years, the people of London are now focusing on the future of the royal line with Charles and William.
Is royal life a fairytale? I personally wouldn't wish to have their fish-bowl lifestyle, but I do wish them all the best, and I pray some of the conventional wisdom of Queen Elizabeth's conservative ideals sinks into the future generations.
As any good royal fairytale movie ends, I hope they all live happily ever after!
