Getting rid of a part of my collection (2)

November 22, 2019 NettyRoyal4 Comments on Getting rid of a part of my collection (2)

Still busy putting my royal collection in order. After temporarily having put postcards and royal mail in a few boxes, I decided to have another look at the huge pile of scrapbooks from the past 40 years. I also had several scrapbooks from the 1960s and 1970s, originally created by others. As I run out […]

You’ve got royal mail (3)

July 9, 2019 NettyRoyal2 Comments on You’ve got royal mail (3)

Since most of the Christmas answers arrived – unfortunately not the beloved yearly card from Monaco – it has become silent in my mailbox.

Just got back home from a shopping tour in the city and finally found the reply of Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in my mailbox. Over the months I have seen people slowly receiving the wedding card of Harry and Meghan. The card shows a wonderful black and […]

November 3, 2018July 9, 2019 NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on You’ve got royal mail (1)

The postman just brought lovely mail from the UK. I for once thought about it sending a card to congratulate Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank with their marriage on 12 October 2018. They returned my best wishes with an absolutely wonderful (and big format) card. I am just amazed I got a reply […]

New Royal Postcards (1)

December 12, 2016September 9, 2018 NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on New Royal Postcards (1)

Any royal postcard collectors among my visitors? I just have a small collection of cards, either with royals (old and new) or palaces/castles on it. My mother gave me these postcards recently, likely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. The first black-white postcard shows the castles of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The poststamps […]

Royal (Christmas) Mail

December 9, 2016January 20, 2018 NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on Royal (Christmas) Mail

Once in a while, when I don’t forget I like to send postcards to royals who had his/her birthday, a baby, got married or lost a member of the family. But most of the time I just stick to a few Christmas cards. You don’t always get something back, but if you’re lucky you do. […]

Royal Wedding at Luxembourg: a Small Report

October 23, 2012January 13, 2018 NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on Royal Wedding at Luxembourg: a Small Report

It was a long and interesting weekend in Luxembourg. As a royalty journalist I of course had to work, even when the hotel internet wasn’t always working. Not only do I have a slow laptop, hotel internet, as lots of you will know, isn’t exactly very quick in the normal hotels. In between I met […]
