India has had a cultural impact on Britain for hundreds of years. You can see its influence in the food and drink that we can consume, and also in our language, with words like “pyjamas” and “shampoo” deriving from Urdu and Hindi respectively. But how did Queen Victoria come to adore a country that she never set foot in, and what role did the East India Company play? Here, we take a brief look back at how Queen Victoria became Empress of India.
A wonderful start to the decade for Queen Elizabeth II, would see her honour her mother for achieving a very special milestone. She would also travel the world with her husband, Prince Philip, to celebrate 50 years on the throne. But the decade started, with a telegram.
Kensington Palace has been a home to royalty for over 300 years, and it is situated in the smallest borough in London. It has been in the news recently due to the unveiling of the statue of Diana, Princess of Wales, in the Sunken Garden, to mark what would have been her 60th birthday. But how much do you know about this royal residence. Here are five facts you may not know.
As much as there had been celebrations to enjoy, for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the 1980’s, with lavish weddings and new additions to the family, the 1990’s was to prove, personally, her most challenging yet. The decade would bring break-ups and divorces, along with a devastating fire and a tragic death. However, she would also find a great friend in the unlikeliest of circumstances. We begin, with a trip to South Africa.
The 1980’s began with a historic meeting of the head of the Church of England and the head of the Roman Catholic Church. It would bring two Royal weddings, more grandchildren for the Queen, including the birth of a future king, and end with the highest honour the Queen can bestow upon an American President. However, we begin the ‘Eighties’ in the Vatican City.
The 1970’s saw “Decimal Day” in Britain bring about new currency, there was a Royal Wedding, and a Silver Wedding Anniversary. The Queen danced with a President, and by the end of the decade, Britain had its first female Prime Minister. For Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it began in Australia.
