Blogger Spotlight: Victoria Martinez
Blogger Victoria Martinez was interviewed on the book blog, A Cup of Coffee and a Good Book, on June 9 regarding her book, An Unusual Journey Through Royal History. [Read the interview.]
In the interview, Martinez describes the book as follows: "An Unusual Journey Through Royal History is not your typical royal history book. The table of contents reads more like a menu at a good restaurant, where there’s something for everyone’s taste. Each of the 18 chapters tells a unique story about an overlooked or unusual aspect of royal history, spanning centuries and countries, but in no particular order. From first to last, they will take you on a journey through royal history you’ve probably never seen or thought of before. Chances are, even readers who usually find historic royalty boring and stuffy or modern royalty anachronistic and detached will find something to enjoy."
Martinez is the author of the blog, Arbitrary History.

Latest Royal Blog News
Here's what's happening in Royal Blogs this week:
Royal Blog Central now indexes more than 40 blogs, sites and forums about royalty. If you need to be added, just send me the details at princessesreign@gmail.com. I'm adding sites as quickly as I can, but it is a bit of a haphazard effort. Also, if you are on Twitter, let me know and I will also add you to my Royal Bloggers list there. I want to include blogs in other languages, too. My goal is to make this blog a really comprehensive resource!
Thanks to everyone who has been tweeting (@palaceprincess) and e-mailing me with more sites to include. Happy blogging!
Bloggers on Facebook
About a month ago, a few of us launched a Facebook group for Royal Bloggers. Just send a request to join.

Musings of a Royal Nature
A blog for lovers of all things Royal. Launched 7 June 2011.
I've decided my thirst for all things Royal cannot be simply satisfied by twitter any longer so in to the blogesphere I venture....... "
Observations
Gosh there are a lot of blogs specifically about Kate Middleton/The Duchess of Cambridge!
Also, so many blogs start with the word royal or royalty, it's really starting to challenge my alphabetizing skills! ;)

A Blog about Blogs
In the last few years, I have enjoyed reading many blogs and web sites about royals from around the world and getting to know the people behind them. As we continue to build an international community of royal bloggers and our followers, I wanted to create a central location where people could access all of the richness and variety available on the internet.
Through this blog, I hope to catalog, categorize and comment on blogs and web sites on a variety of royal topics both current and historical in as many languages as possible.
If you maintain a royal blog or web site--or you read one!--that's not included here, please send the URL to princessesreign@gmail.com.
