Albert and Victoria felt mutual affection and the Queen proposed to Albert just five days after he had arrived at Windsor on 15 October 1839.
Who would you like to see on this blog?
As some of you may have noticed, I’ve started only posting one picture a day this week, as I want to spread my collection out (trust me, I have tons of images), and give each picture some time to be viewed and appreciated.
I’ve picked up on a couple popular images (notably - the Romanovs (the young Tsarevitch, and the grand duchesses as well as the last Tsarina and Tsar), Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II and her sister Princess Margaret, the Tsarina Marie Feodorovna and Queen Alexandra of England, as well as the Danish Royal Family), but I’d like to hear from you who you’d like to see (that can be a specific person or more of a specific royal family, or country, or duchy) so that I can appeal more to everyone!
So please, reply to this post, if you will and share with me one, or a few people/families/etc you’d like to see posted on this blog, and I’ll be sure to do my best to satisfy everyone’s requests!
Another note: i’ve enabled my ask box on this blog, so if you ever want to ask any questions/give suggestions, please do so there! Thank you!
