Happy New Year! In recent weeks, I have written a new article for Reader's Digest about the history of Prince Charles's royal tours of Canada and a new article about Prince Rupert of the Rhine for the Historica Canada Canadian Encyclopedia. I have also discussed a wide variety of royal topics with the media including the history of royal nannies and the challenges faced by the monarchy in 2021. There is a new issue of the Royal Studies Journal, which includes one of my book reviews, and updates about the forthcoming English Consorts: Power, Influence Dynasty series, which I am co-editing with Aidan Norrie, Danna Messer, Elena Woodacre and Joanna Lanyesmith.
