A Royal Decree

By the grace of caffeine, curiosity, and an excellent collection of tiaras, let it be known across the land (and the Internet): Crowned and Curious has officially begun its reign.

This court is devoted to the queens (and kings, and consorts, and maybe a scandalous duchess or two) who ruled with style, stirred up drama, dropped iconic one-liners, and left stories in their wake—stories we still whisper about centuries later. Some wore crowns. Others broke them.

Whether swishing through Versailles, scheming at Hampton Court, or lounging in a modern-day rooftop garden beneath fairy lights and rose arches, our royals are here to spill their secrets, one post at a time. We honor their history, swoon over their gowns, and ask the important questions—like, did Marie Antoinette really wear a ship on her head? (Spoiler: kind of. And honestly, we support it.)

So raise your teacup, straighten your tiara, and prepare to time travel with flair. We blend fact with fun, lace with lipstick, and we’re not afraid to throw a little shade across the centuries. If court gossip were a sport, we’d have medals.

Long live curiosity. Long live storytelling. Long live Crowned and Curious.
