The Royal Butler

Queen Elizabeth II was so passionate about horses that she learned to ride at just 3 years old, and was still riding well into her 90s?

She didn’t just enjoy riding either, she was a highly knowledgeable breeder and owner of racehorses. In fact, her horses won over 1,800 races during her lifetime, and she personally studied bloodlines like a true expert. 🐎

A lovely detail: she often said time spent with her horses was her “escape” from royal duties, one of the few places she could truly relax.

Did you know Queen Elizabeth II once made a surprise cameo alongside Daniel Craig for the opening of the London 2012 Olympic Games? 🎬👑

In the short film, she appeared to “parachute” into the stadium as James Bond escorted her, showing a brilliant sense of humour and becoming one of the most memorable Olympic moments ever!

Did you know Princess Margaret once wore a tiara… in the bath? 👑🛁

At the height of the glamorous 1960s, Margaret embodied a very different kind of royal, one who embraced late nights, high society, and a touch of rebellion. Stories like this perfectly capture her spirit: effortlessly elegant, yet delightfully unconventional.

While life under Queen Elizabeth II was defined by tradition and duty, Margaret brought a sense of individuality and flair that set her apart.

Because for Princess Margaret… even bath time could be a royal moment ✨

🐟✝️ Queen Elizabeth II’s Good Friday Feast Secret! ✝️🐟

Did you know her Majesty savored hake with perfectly rectangular chips (no batter overload!) on Good Friday at Windsor Castle. A pious nod to her Church of England role before Easter sweets. 😋

Hot cross buns were also served with afternoon tea, refined royalty at its finest!

Not born royal… but destined for it. The early life of Catherine, Princess of Wales

Did you know Catherine, Princess of Wales once had a surprisingly “normal” job before royal life?

Before marrying Prince William, Catherine worked as an accessories buyer for the British fashion brand Jigsaw. She also helped out with her family’s business, Party Pieces, doing everything from marketing to photography.

It’s often said that this early experience shaped her now-famous polished yet relatable style, one of the reasons she’s become such a modern and influential royal figure.

👑🛁 Queen Elizabeth II, ahead of her coronation on June 2, 1953, practiced wearing the heavy Imperial State Crown around Buckingham Palace to get used to its weight, including during bath time with young Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

As King Charles recalled: “My mama used to come up at bath time wearing the crown to practice. You have to get used to how heavy it is.”

This quirky routine helped her master the nearly 3-pound crown’s balance for the Westminster Abbey ceremony. Royal prep level: Expert! 😍

The “Lover’s Knot Tiara” was actually a favorite of Princess Diana, but it also has a deep historical tie to the royal family. The tiara was originally made for Queen Mary, the grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II, and it was later passed down. Kate Middleton first wore it at a state banquet in 2015, just after her wedding. So, it’s a symbol of continuity, love, and royal heritage!

George V once changed the royal family’s name during World War I.

Originally, the British royal family had very strong German roots and were known as the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. But during the war, anti-German feeling in Britain was so intense that in 1917, George V decided to rebrand the monarchy, choosing the very British-sounding name Windsor, inspired by Windsor Castle.

That’s why today’s royal family is known as the House of Windsor 👑
