Because the crown has always come with a little tea.

Greetings, esteemed guest of the court.

I'm Laura. I am a lifelong royal enthusiast, an avid reader, and a storyteller at heart - captured by the crowns, courts, secrets, and splendor that have shaped royal history from the Tudors to today's Windsors. I have studied at Oxford (yes, from across the Atlantic - this American has somehow never stepped foot in the U.K., a fact that feels like a historical tragedy in itself.) Yet every page I turn, every archive I study, and every palace I research brings me closer to the world that has enchanted me since childhood.

Here, I explore the royal tapestry that binds past and present: from Tudor queens who risked everything in the name of power and survival, to modern royals navigating fame, duty, and the ever-watchful public eye. I write not just to recount history, but to reimagine it - bringing you stories that breathe, schemes that stir, and legends that refuse to stay silent.

So, pull up a velvet chair, pour the tea, and let's uncover the truth behind the throne - one tale at a time.
