Today we explore the second to last post of Former royal residences. We’ve already done Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
I’ve really gone down a royal rabbit hole (they open up before me quite regularly) as well as these posts I’ve been watching Reign. Prior to that I watched Bridgerton, prior to that I watched Belgravia.Bridgerton thought very popular comes with mixed reviews. I quite liked Belgravia. Next, I’m poised to watch other movies of Mary, Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth I. I would love to put my hands on a series I watched too many years ago to count The Six Wives of Henry VIII. Then of course there’s Anne of the Thousand Days with Geneviève Bujold and Richard Burton. I ought to be a regular Tudor (oh there’s another series) specialist by the end of this. Well on that note…
