On the new BBC reality show Undercover Princesses, three princesses visit the UK and “go undercover as ordinary people with the hope that they meet a man who will love them for who they are.”

(Note to BBC editors: Maybe you should say, “Each hopes to meet a man who will love her for who she is.” Or are you planning a sequel called “One Husband, Three Princesses”?)

Here’s an excerpt from the show. One of the princesses is nicknamed Cinderella — naturally, I approve of that.

When I moved this blog from Typepad to WordPress a few years ago, I had to transfer all of the content manually and many things got left behind, including most of the old “Royal Week in Review” posts.

However, I saved some of the most unusual links for possible future use, including these quite unusual stories about royalty-inspired works of art (or so-called art, depending on your point of view).

Enough to Make Anyone a Monarchist

Just Interesting

Which, if any, of these artworks is your favorite? I think the glass pillow is kind of cool.
