Royal Pain? Media Frenzy

There is definitely a love-hate relationship between the media and the Royal Family and for good reason. The Royal Family needs good press. The press does not always get it right. People are people, royal or not and often the media does not account for that. In addition, the media is so often about getting the scoop, and selling it. Living royal has to be difficult at times.

For Royal access to the King and Queen Consort of England one must contact Royal Communications at Buckingham Palace. On the royal contact page there are phone numbers and basic instructions for finding out the proper protocol.

Also, “His Majesty” can be addressed by mail to His Majesty Buckingham Palace. According to the Royal UK site, “Royal communications is responsible for making arrangements for members of the media to cover royal visits, events and news stories so that they can provide accurate, timely and informative coverage to their audiences.”

Vaughan Publishing, from Jacksonville and since about 1985 has photographed events world-wide and kept photographic files of important goings-on. While the photographs are mainly of the United States and specifically Jacksonville, Florida, many events abroad have been covered. Everyone’s life is important and should be documented, even by small organizations.

Regarding royal events, thousands upon thousands of media will be sprawled all through the United Kingdom area the week of the coronation of King Charles III, including Vaughan Publishing of Jacksonville, Florida. Vaughan Publishing group photographed the events of Prince William and Catherine’s wedding, Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral processional and now comes the King Charles III Coronation.

BTW, there is no love-hate relationship here. It’s all love as we simply tell truths as we see and photograph it.

See you tomorrow,

Royal Mail With the First Ever New Cypher

The King of England has chosen for his cypher a crown with pearls with a Cross at the top. The cross is aligned to the cross of Jesus in Christianity. I do hope he lives out that faith all of his days as King.

Buckingham Palace News announcing the Kings new cypher- 2023

Beneath the gold crown is a large C and R with three strikes. The large C represents “Charles”. The R represents “Rex” which means “King”. The three strikes are representative of him being King Charles III.

Long live the King and may he live for Christ all of his days. I hope you will pray for him.

Oh! I forgot to tell you… I got my own copy of the cypher today in the mail. More details coming!

See you tomorrow,

Nan

The Regal Visits of Royalty to America

The Royal Family information notes that King George III(1738-1820) was the eldest son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and Prince Augusta. He was the longest ruling monarch before Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II according to History. Com. He reigned for some 59 years and was the king who was during the loss of the American Revolution. In his papers is a writing that says “America is lost”. It is noted by PBS that the Revolutionary War lasted some eighty years because King George would not surrender.

“America is Lost!” (United States Government papers).

While some indicate King George III had a vision of coming the the United States, the actual first king to come to America was in 1939 when King George VI, according to Senate. Gov.

I was able to see the Queen when she visited William and Mary college in 2007. That was a memorable occasion. After she left, I walked on stage and sat in her seat, just for the fun of it.

See you tomorrow.

Transcript of King Charles III

As reported by the Royal website and The New York Times-

“I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow.

Throughout her life, Her Majesty The Queen — my beloved Mother — was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example.

Queen Elizabeth’s was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today. Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where the queen was head of state, in the Commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than seventy years in which my mother, as queen, served the people of so many nations.

In 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples. That was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life.She made sacrifices for duty. Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never wavered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss. In her life of service we saw that abiding love of tradition, together with that fearless embrace of progress, which make us great as Nations. The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign. And, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humor and an unerring ability always to see the best in people.

I pay tribute to my Mother’s memory and I honor her life of service. I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you, and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all.”
