Susiewoozie I am astonished at how similar the Harry and Meghan situation is to Edward 8th and Mrs Simpson. Fascinating!

My first suggestion Foxglove77 is to get on BBCi and check out their "The Story of the British Isles" strand. Lots of interesting programs there to get started with.

My second suggestion is to stop watching The Crown! grin

PamelaJ1 I could not have posters in my toilet. So unhygienic. Each to their own

I honestly think that is by studying social and economic history that we come to really understand today ( and that’s what matters)

Welbeck I am now watching The Crown and indeed this has increased my fascination!

maybe it's because you did not study history very deeply that you are such a fan of the monarchy...

My sister has a poster of the royal family tree on the wall opposite the loo. Might that help??

When I was at school and chose my options, I gave up history. I have no knowledge of kings and queens and yet I am a royalist. I am a huge fan of the Queen. I can never answer those questions on The Chase about kings and queens and wives of times past. I would love to study and learn. But where to start? Any suggestions? Thanks
