    Absolutely I’m watching the royal wedding! And while I don’t know if she’s my favorite I’m going through a Queen Victoria phase right now because of the Amazon series.

  2. Kim

    March 27, 2018 at 7:34 am

    Yay! I love Queen Elizabeth (the first:)), and no, I’m not planning on watching the royal wedding.

  3. Sabrina

    March 27, 2018 at 8:05 am

    Queen Elizabeth! And wasn’t planning on it, but maybe now I’ll tune in!!

  4. Jaci

    March 27, 2018 at 8:08 am

    Queen Elizabeth. Yes!

  5. Sara Klasing

    March 27, 2018 at 8:09 am

    I am not planning on watching the wedding at this moment in time. My favorite person in British history would be Mary Queen of Scots. I love how her history fed into British history.

  6. Louise M

    March 27, 2018 at 8:09 am

    My favorite person in British history is probably John Bunyan, although not royalty his work still impacts hundreds of people today.
    No, I won’t be watching the wedding but I will be reading and looking at the pictures from the event afterwards.

  7. Carly

    March 27, 2018 at 8:10 am

    My favorite British historical figure is Julian of Norwich. We will watch the royal wedding May.

  8. Kristy C.

    March 27, 2018 at 8:12 am

    Queen Elizabeth, but my oldest son would definitely say King Arthur. With the time difference, I doubt that we’ll watch it live, but probably some later coverage.

  9. Carrie Hart

    March 27, 2018 at 8:15 am

    I am learning more about British history from the tv series The Crown (and Googling to see if the events in the series are accurate) than I ever knew before! Queen Elizabeth is amazing!!! My daughter, who is 8, will be over the moon about the royal wedding!

    I will for sure be watching the wedding! I watched Prince Charles & Princess Diana’s wedding on VHS over & over & over as a little girl. 🙂 While I love reading about Tudor & Victorian England, I think Elizabeth II’s reign of quiet faithfulness has been so inspiring and gracious. Thanks for this fun giveaway!!

  11. Jocelyn Bullen

    March 27, 2018 at 8:22 am

    Princess Diana! And yes I plan on wAtching the wedding! My family and I are actually moving to England from Canada in June!

  12. Colleen

    March 27, 2018 at 8:25 am

    I think my favorite would have to be the current Queen Elizabeth. And yes, we will probably watch the royal wedding!

  13. Erin Miller

    March 27, 2018 at 8:30 am

    We recently read about the mystery surrounding the two princes in the tower back in the Middle Ages, and we’re fascinated! We will most definitely be watching the royal wedding but not sure it can be as great as William and Kate!

  14. Maggie

    March 27, 2018 at 8:31 am

    William Tyndale! Yes I plan on watching it.

  15. Kara Garrod

    March 27, 2018 at 8:31 am

    My favorite person from British history is William Shakespeare, but my daughter dressed up as Queen Elizabeth I for Halloween this year. We likely will not watch the event in real time, but will happily indulge in news coverage after the fact.

  16. Valerie

    March 27, 2018 at 8:38 am

    Yes! I will be watching the royal wedding. My favorite British historical figures are King Henry Vlll and his six wives. He was absolutely awful, but fascinating. I can’t get my hands on enough historical fiction about him and his wives.

  17. Samantha Presse

    March 27, 2018 at 8:38 am

    My favorite historical British figure was King George VI. He is so underrated and held such virtues. We will not be watching the wedding on May 19th live but we will cover the wedding in current events!

  18. Andrea

    March 27, 2018 at 8:47 am

    My favorite character in British History was Sir Issac Newton. And, no, probably not.

  19. Lorianne Stogsdill

    March 27, 2018 at 8:48 am

    Favorite person in British history…does the current Queen Elizabeth count? I hadn’t thought about watching the royal wedding, but I know my daughters would be thrilled to!

  20. L.O.

    March 27, 2018 at 8:50 am

    Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. I have never watched a royal wedding so I doubt I will watch this one.

  21. Patti P

    March 27, 2018 at 8:52 am

    My favorite person from British royalty would probably be Prince William. I am not sure right now whether we will watch the wedding or not.

  22. kvossler

    March 27, 2018 at 8:53 am

    I’ve been obsessed with Queen Victoria since I was a little girl. And yes, we’re getting up to watch the wedding in real time–with scones, tea, and a Victoria sandwich!

  23. Becky Marshall

    March 27, 2018 at 8:56 am

    I love Queen Elizabeth, and may watch the wedding!

  24. Elizabeth Bailey

    March 27, 2018 at 9:04 am

    I admire William Wilberforce for his courage. I’m hoping to watch at least part of the wedding! 🙂

  25. Patty

    March 27, 2018 at 9:04 am

    Queen Elizabeth. Nope.

  26. Katie S

    March 27, 2018 at 9:09 am

    From history, my favorites are Henry the 8th’s wives. I love Kate Middleton now though. I probably won’t watch the whole wedding but will follow news on it afterwards.

  27. Jamie

    March 27, 2018 at 9:10 am

    My daughter would LOVE this set!!!
    I don’t have a favorite, and I don’t think I will watch the wedding. Hadn’t even considered it, actually!

  28. Melodie

    March 27, 2018 at 9:14 am

    I suppose Queen Elizabeth II is my favorite. I’m hoping to try to watch the wedding. 🙂

  29. Tiffany P

    March 27, 2018 at 9:20 am

    Winston Churchill is an interesting fellow. I would like to watch the wedding but will probably catch the photos and clips after.

  30. Jessica Adams

    March 27, 2018 at 9:21 am

    I would have to say Princess Diana is my favorite. If we get TV service we’ll watch the wedding. Our TV doesn’t always work well.

  31. Audrey Hogan

    March 27, 2018 at 9:21 am

    I’m fascinated lately by Catherine of Aragon. Don’t know if I’m going to get to watch the wedding but I’m going to try.

  32. Amy

    March 27, 2018 at 9:22 am

    Since I have to choose just one, I think I’ll go with G. K. Chesterton. Or maybe Dorothy Sayers. Wait, that’s 2. 🙂
    I am not sure whether or not we will watch the wedding in May…we will have to see if it’s on the regular channels our old tv can pick up!

  33. Missy

    March 27, 2018 at 9:22 am

    Queen Victoria, and probably ????

  34. Tammy Williams

    March 27, 2018 at 9:24 am

    Queen Elizabeth. Yes, my girls and I will probably watch the wedding.

  35. Stacey

    March 27, 2018 at 9:25 am

    Queen Elizabeth II is definitely my favorite. She has had such a long and interesting reign! I will definitely watch the royal wedding. As a little girl, I watched Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ wedding, and I’ve loved the royal family ever since!

  36. SUSAN ALLRED

    March 27, 2018 at 9:26 am

    Princess Diana! Yes. Will watch wedding.

  37. Megan M

    March 27, 2018 at 9:33 am

    Well, when I was a little girl, I was pretty sure I was going to marry Prince William. ???? But I loved Meghan Markle before she started dating Prince Harry, so I think she probably beats Wills out.

  38. Gayly

    March 27, 2018 at 9:43 am

    We will watch the highlights of the wedding. I love royal weddings, I still remember watching Princess Di’s wedding and loving the fanfare of it! My kids are studying European History and there are so many awesome Dover Books to help along the way!

  39. Kimberly Bitner

    March 27, 2018 at 9:51 am

    I’m not sure if I’ll watch the royal wedding.
    I do love Queen Elizabeth II – after watching The Crown I have so much more appreciation for the monarchy and what the queen has had to go through.

  40. Melissa

    March 27, 2018 at 9:52 am

    I love Victoria and Albert history and I really want to watch the wedding because I am fascinated with the royals and absolutely love Meghan Markle! ????

  41. Sarah

    March 27, 2018 at 9:52 am

    Queen Elizabeth and I probably won’t watch the wedding.

  42. Sarah M

    March 27, 2018 at 9:55 am

    Oh, how fun! I am absolutely going to be watching the royal wedding but once I’m awake 😉 As I’m learning a lot by way of Victoria and The Crown, I’d have to say these two women (Elizabeth and Victoria) are some of my favorites.

    I think I love so many in British History from Tyndale to Wilberforce, to Princess Diana. I really admire all of them, for their courage to do the right things and to change the world around them. I love that Princess Diana was the people’s Princess and I felt like she really helped make the Royals so much more approachable and the openness. I loved watching her as I grew up. Her children are fantastic and I can’t wait to see the Royal Wedding!

  44. Kristy

    March 27, 2018 at 10:04 am

    We will be studying European history next year, this would be perfect! We love learning about the British Royals and may watch the wedding (if we can!)

    March 27, 2018 at 10:05 am

    As the daughter of a history professor, and a homeschooling Mom of 5 (who love Jane Austen, and “random royal history”), this giveaway is so exciting to me and mine. I am so happy to see others excited about it too!

  46. PL

    March 27, 2018 at 10:11 am

    My favorite is Diana. I grew up in England and became fascinated with her as a little girl. I can’t wait to watch the upcoming Royal wedding; I’m so excited!!!
    This package of royal history books looks incredible and would be perfect for teaching my kids about my homeland!

  47. Rebecca Jemmett

    March 27, 2018 at 10:17 am

    Lady Jane Grey. We’ll be watching as we’re based in the UK!

  48. Jeannie

    March 27, 2018 at 10:20 am

    Maybe Winston Churchill or William Shakespeare? I hadn’t even thought about watching the next royal wedding–I’m sure we’ll at least catch the highlights though. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity–my youngest would love the paper dolls, and my oldest would love the classics!

  49. Shannon Brenner

    March 27, 2018 at 10:24 am

    We love “Good Queen Bess”. My daughter and I are definitely going to watch the wedding. =) Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

  50. Leigh Owens

    March 27, 2018 at 10:28 am

    Winston Churchill fascinates me! Also Queen Elizabeth I.

  51. Kelli Squires

    March 27, 2018 at 10:33 am

    I adore Queen Elizabeth II and yes I’ll be watching the royal wedding! Thanks for the giveaway!

  52. Sonia Scudder

    March 27, 2018 at 10:43 am

    Our families favorite royal is Queen Victoria. We are inspired by how, at such a young age, she overcame obstacles and was able to reign while still learning the ropes. She became a great queen although the odds were against her and We find that truly inspiring for both women and men, girls and boys.

  53. Sonia Scudder

    March 27, 2018 at 10:43 am

    And yes we will be watching the royal wedding 🙂

  54. Jessica Gaul-Sanford

    March 27, 2018 at 10:49 am

    I wouldn’t miss the royal wedding! My mom and I watched the last one while on the phone together when I was in college! There are so many great people, but Queen Victoria was pretty awesome!

  55. Erin

    March 27, 2018 at 10:50 am

    Hmm, there are a lot of fascinating events and people in British history, but probably Elizabeth I. No, I probably won’t be watching the royal wedding – but I’ll check out the pictures afterward!

  56. Melanie

    March 27, 2018 at 10:52 am

    So cool! I absolutely love Victoria (thanks Masterpiece Theatre).

  57. Krystal P

    March 27, 2018 at 11:05 am

    Queen Victoria is my favorite. The whole Victorian era is just so interesting to me.

  58. Joanna

    March 27, 2018 at 11:08 am

    C.S. Lewis is a favorite and I hope to catch some wedding coverage on youtube after the fact.

  59. Alison

    March 27, 2018 at 11:21 am

    Probably Queen Elizabeth is my favourite. Probably won’t be watching the royal wedding this time.

  60. Nicole

    March 27, 2018 at 11:22 am

    Sadly, the wedding won’t be watched here as there’s a baby to be born that month! 🙂 My kiddos tell me that their favorite person in British History is Robin Hood whilst I am torn between C.S. Lewis and so many other authors who made their mark in literature.

  61. Erin Baugh

    March 27, 2018 at 11:25 am

    William Churchill. Yes, we will be watching the royal wedding!

  62. Jenna

    March 27, 2018 at 11:48 am

    I won’t be watching the live wedding, but I can’t wait to see the pictures of what everyone is wearing. I’m not sure who my favourite person from British history is, but I’m drawn to Queen Victoria because she named my province in Canada and she was the first woman to have drugs childbirth!

  63. JenT

    March 27, 2018 at 11:57 am

    My favourite person in British history is probably Elizabeth I, but there are a lot of interesting options. I doubt I will watch the wedding live because my son will likely have his birthday party at the same time., But definitely will watch highlights after the fact.

  64. Sara

    March 27, 2018 at 12:00 pm

    My favorite person in British history is the female Warrior Boadicea. She seems to turn up everywhere now like even in children’s books from Julie Andrews! As for the royal wedding, it’s not really my cup of tea so we will give it a miss. ????

  65. Rita Whyte

    March 27, 2018 at 12:04 pm

    I am definitely hoping to have time to watch the Royal Wedding! My favourite character from British History is probably Sir Francis Drake, the explorer, because I live in the town where he was born!

  66. RAmie Ahlstrom

    March 27, 2018 at 12:12 pm

    After living in England for 3 years, I think Queen Elizabeth is my favorite. Her poise in all that she has had placed in her lap is amazing. I am also fascinated by the simple life of Prince William and Kate. I will definitely be watching the Royal Wedding in May!

  67. Lauren Hogarty

    March 27, 2018 at 12:25 pm

    Wow! Lovely prize! We find Queen Victoria and Albert the most fasnicating and love how they championed the arts and also science. Yes! We will be watching the wedding all the way from South Africa.

  68. Cara

    March 27, 2018 at 12:28 pm

    I will definitely watch the wedding! We had a wonderful party with tea and scones for the last wedding. I am really enjoying learning more about Queen Elizabeth ll after binge watching The Crown.

  69. Miche

    March 27, 2018 at 12:30 pm

    The Queen Mum! yes yes yes will definitely be watching the wedding with friends and moms alike ???? I might even make my own day hat/fascinator…????

  70. E. Hutson

    March 27, 2018 at 12:56 pm

    Queen Elizabeth!! Yes, I will be watching the wedding!!

  71. Amanda

    March 27, 2018 at 1:11 pm

    I am going to say queen Alexandra, I was just reading about the initial Queen Alexandra Rose Day in 1912 and the history behind the girls who made the artificial flowers, so inspiring! Hope to catch the wedding!

  72. Lindsay Norton

    March 27, 2018 at 1:13 pm

    Robin Hood! I’ll probably watch some highlights of the wedding afterward.

  73. Meghann Baker

    March 27, 2018 at 1:39 pm

    Shakespeare is my favourite. I’ll probably watch the highlights of the wedding. My 10, almost 9, 7 and almost 4 year old would love this prize package!!

  74. Nancy

    March 27, 2018 at 1:50 pm

    Yes-we’ll watch this wedding. And favorite British historical figure…General Braddock.

  75. Charissa

    March 27, 2018 at 1:55 pm

    Sadly, I don’t think we know enough about British history to be able to pick a favorite figure. This package from Dover sounds like it would help with that! 😉 As for watching the royal wedding in May… I don’t know! We hadn’t really thought about it. Might be fun, though! Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win. 🙂

  76. Kate

    March 27, 2018 at 2:34 pm

    Queen Victoria! I wasn’t planning on watching the royal wedding, but I’ll have to see if I can figure out how to stream it!

  77. Kristin

    March 27, 2018 at 2:38 pm

    Princess Diana is my favorite British Royal. Yes, I plan to watch the May wedding!

  78. Sarah Behan

    March 27, 2018 at 2:58 pm

    This would be amazing! We might be moving to England for a year, and these would go so well with what I hope to homeschool my little ones.

  79. Mary B

    March 27, 2018 at 3:01 pm

    I really enjoyed watching Netflix Crown. Learning about queen Elizabeth really sparked an Intrest into mid century England for me. By the way, I loved Dover coloring books when I was homeschooled. These books look amazing.

    • Mary B

      March 27, 2018 at 3:02 pm

      I would love to watch the royal wedding but not sure if we will.

  80. Sharon peterson

    March 27, 2018 at 3:05 pm

    My favorite (besides Queen Elizabeth II) would be King George VI, his rein was imposed on him and he handled it was grace and servitude to the empire like no King before him. His rein was during one of the most difficult times in modern history. And he and his bride raised two lovely daughters, one being the Queen whom also handles her duties to her people with grace.
    ❤❤❤❤

    • Sharon peterson

      March 27, 2018 at 3:06 pm

      Oh, and we will definitely be watching … and dressed to the nine’s !!

  81. Nicola

    March 27, 2018 at 3:40 pm

    My favourite person in British history would probably be Jane Austen as I read her books again and again :). But the kids are having an Ancient Roman phase and have loved learning about Queen Boudica fighting back against the Romans. We won’t be watching live but will certainly catch up on it later :).

  82. se7en

    March 27, 2018 at 3:53 pm

    Can I say King Arthur… childhood favourite!!! And I am guessing that the wedding will be a definite date with my girls!!!

  83. Wendy

    March 27, 2018 at 3:57 pm

    Yes, I hope to watch the royal wedding and my favorite right now is Queen Victoria.

  84. Laura

    March 27, 2018 at 4:04 pm

    Gerard Manley Hopkins, and probably not, though I might hit up a YouTube clip or two.

  85. Lara Young

    March 27, 2018 at 4:07 pm

    I greatly admire William Wilberforce’s courage and determination in fighting to end slavery in Great Britain. I hadn’t really thought about watching the wedding, but now I think we may have to plan on it!

  86. Julie

    March 27, 2018 at 4:08 pm

    My fave Royal is Queen Elizabeth II, closely followed by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and Prince William and Kate. I can’t watch the wedding live due to the time difference (we’re Brits in NZ) and the fact that we don’t have a tv, but I will watch highlights afterwards.

  87. Kerry A Fritz

    March 27, 2018 at 4:16 pm

    Not interested in the wedding but love the legends of King Arthur

  88. Christy

    March 27, 2018 at 4:23 pm

    I’ve always been interested in Queen Victoria. We won’t be watching the wedding, maybe some highlights later.

  89. Joella

    March 27, 2018 at 5:01 pm

    Yes! Queen Elizabeth, and King George VI.

  90. Christy S

    March 27, 2018 at 5:09 pm

    I loved Princess Diana as a little girl. Recently I’ve read Victoria by Daisy Goodwin and find her very interesting as well!

  91. Mary Giles

    March 27, 2018 at 5:14 pm

    One of my favorite people in British history is Queen Elizabeth I. William Tyndale is also on my list. If we can find a way to watch the royal wedding, we will watch it. Exciting!

    I’m not sure if we’ll be available to watch the royal wedding or not but I still remember watching Harry’s parents’ wedding during my summer vacation from college in 1981. I got up very early before work to see it! My favorite person in British history is Sir Thomas More (and one of my favorite movies is A Man for All Seasons!)

  94. Dany Hodzi

    March 27, 2018 at 5:41 pm

    William Tyndale as favorite person. Watch wedding? Probably highlights as favorite as we don’t have TV.

    I would say Queen Elizabeth because it amazes me the role she had to take on at such a young age. Not sure if I’ll be watching the wedding or not.

    Queen Victoria is my favorite royal. I love everything about the time period. Princess Diana is a very close second. I truly love Princes’ William and Harry, and it’s been so wonderful to be able to watch them grow up and become men that their mother would be so proud of. I do plan to watch the next royal wedding. I watch everything I can concerning the Royal Family. I can’t wait!

  99. Catherine Goeddey

    March 27, 2018 at 6:56 pm

    Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, and Alan Turing 🙂 can’t go wrong with scientific advancements! I hadn’t thought about watching the wedding but now that you mention it, maybe!

    We are big fans of King Arthur (yes, mythical, but he is my son’s namesake!) and Boudica. Also Tolkien and J.K. Rowling. We probably will not watch the wedding live but will catch up afterward.

    my favorite person in british history is Thomas More. He stood up for what he beleived in, was an amazing family man, and swayed some hearts. YES! Of course we’re watching the happy event! I’ve got popcorn and snacks at the ready!

  103. Joy B. Lojo

    March 27, 2018 at 8:14 pm

    Diana or The People’s Princess is my favourite! She wasn’t perfect (and who is?) but her heart was always for acts of kindness. That’s a model to emulate!

    Yes, we’re planning to watch Prince Harry and Megan’s wedding in May!

    Thank you for this! ????

  104. Karla Sheridan

    March 27, 2018 at 8:37 pm

  105. Kathryn

    March 27, 2018 at 8:40 pm

    Mary Queen of Scots is our current favorite British historical figure. What a strong woman!

  106. Rebecca

    March 27, 2018 at 8:46 pm

    Florence Nightingale is my favorite British historical figure as I am a nurse. 🙂 A friend of mine hosted a British tea party for William and Kate’s wedding, which was so fun! I’ll have to watch this next wedding and reminiscence!

  107. Jennifer

    March 27, 2018 at 9:19 pm

  112. Beth Zahurones

    March 27, 2018 at 10:11 pm

  113. Alison

    March 27, 2018 at 10:14 pm

    I can’t say I have a favourite British person, but we are currently fascinated by Queen Victoria and the Crystal Palace. Not sure if we will be watching the royal wedding, but I’m sure there will be at least a few members of this household interested in doing so!

  114. Ashley Lande

    March 27, 2018 at 10:30 pm

    After reading Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, I’d have to say my favorite is Thomas Cromwell! And yes, I’m looking forward to the wedding!

  115. Lynne B

  117. Jessica B

    March 27, 2018 at 10:50 pm

    What can I say, I am a contemporary, so Prince William is my favorite, because I always had a crush on him. 😉 I will definitely be following the next royal wedding!

    This is soooo cool! Thank you! I was just extolling the awesomeness of Dover Books on winnie.com last week! OK, my favorite fictional person in English History would of course be Dr. Who. My favorite real person in English history is Colin Ward, author of “The Child in the City”, and “Streetwork” both of which extol unschooling philosophies.

    There are so many people, but Elizabeth I comes to mind first. Not sure if we will watch the wedding. Yay for being open internationally!!

    I find Queen Elizabeth II fascinating, thanks to “The Crown”. She’s the longest reigning British monarch! My 8-year-old loved reading “Who was Queen Elizabeth?” (the 1st, that is), and she would love to win this fun pack from Dover. We will both be watching the May wedding. Thanks for the giveaway!

  129. Claire

    March 28, 2018 at 11:29 am

    Favourite historical person would be Shakespeare I think…but favourite royal would be Queen Elizabeth I. We will be watching the wedding. Have watched them all since Diana and Charles’s when I was a kid. My 7 year old is looking forward to it very much 🙂

  130. Kimberly

    March 28, 2018 at 11:46 am

    I plan to watch the wedding with my children, it’s history in the making. While I love British History (all history really) I have great admiration for William Wilberforce and the stand he took for people who couldn’t fight for themselves!

  131. Heather J

    March 28, 2018 at 12:34 pm

    I remember watching Lady Diana’s wedding, she is my favorite. Yes, I will be watching this enchanting royal wedding in May.

  132. Fiona

    March 28, 2018 at 3:57 pm

    My favourites are Queen Victoria as I loved her dedication to her husband Prince Albert and also our current Queen Elizabeth.
    I am most definitely watching the royal wedding, complete with tea and cake.

  133. Ashley Moore

    March 28, 2018 at 5:31 pm

    I know my girls would love to learn more about real life princesses!

    Queen Victoria! I probably won’t watch the royal wedding this time.

  135. Lisa Keppel

    Queen Elizabeth I or Princess Diana – it’s hard to choose. And you bet I’ll be watching the wedding!

  138. Judith Martinez

    March 28, 2018 at 11:15 pm

    I’m fascinated by Queen Victoria. I won’t be watching the wedding.

    There are so many interesting people in British history, I don’t know if I can choose a favorite! Shakespeare is high on the list. My 9 year old son says his favorite is Queen Elizabeth. 🙂 We may watch the Royal Wedding, I think my oldest would love it. He loves weddings and the royal family so I’m sure he would be thrilled to watch. 🙂

  140. Shirley Braun

    March 29, 2018 at 12:47 am

    Sir Walter Raleigh. I don’t care one bit about the current royal wedding. I’m very interested in the historical books, but you can keep the paper dolls of the modern royals for yourself. lol

  141. Christina Green

    March 29, 2018 at 3:38 am

    As a little girl my favorite was Princess Diana, as a teenager my favorite was Winston Churchill, as an adult I love Queen Elizabeth II and King George VI. The struggles they went through were amazingly difficult, but their resolve to lead for their people and their personal sacrifice is greatly admirable. And yes, i will absolutely be watching the wedding!!

  142. Jennifer Edwards

    March 29, 2018 at 8:34 am

    Princess Diana! and yes I hope to watch!

  143. Kate E.

    March 29, 2018 at 10:53 am

    I love Kate, but I have so much respect for the Queen. She is a good lady. And I’m totally watching the royal wedding!

  144. Heather

    March 29, 2018 at 11:14 am

    Beatrix Potter is my current favorite person in British History and we’ll have to see how May plays out, but of course I’ll catch a glimpse of the big day.

  145. Theresa

    March 29, 2018 at 11:31 am

    Does Doctor Who count? C.S. Lewis, Jane Austen, King James, J. K. Rowling, Elizabeth I & II….interesting people in history. Haven’t decided to watch the royal wedding.

  146. Katy

    March 29, 2018 at 1:32 pm

    I’ve always been intrigued by Henry VIII and his wives. And yes, I will probably watch the royal wedding.

    British history is so fascinating, so it’s really hard to pick a favorite person! But, if I were pressed, I would have to say William Shakespeare. And yes, I’ll be watching the wedding. Excited about this giveaway!

  148. Kimberly R

    March 29, 2018 at 6:00 pm

    My favorite person in British history would probably be Queen Victoria, especially after watching the mini-series on Masterpiece Theater. More than likely, I will not be watching the royal wedding.

  149. melanie huttner

    March 29, 2018 at 8:56 pm

    Princess Diana and absolutely!

  150. Jaime Scharf

    March 29, 2018 at 10:38 pm

    Of course we will be watching the wedding! Quite an exciting spring for royals with a baby and a wedding! I appreciate many people in England’s history. The current queen is an amazing person with genuine faith.

  151. Sheila

    March 30, 2018 at 7:43 am

    Favorite PERSON in British history?? That would have to be an author, maybe C.S. Lewis, for example, but it would be hard to narrow it down! Favorite royal, probably Catherine of Aragon (okay, so she was Spanish, but…), but I’ve also been reading a lot about Lady Jane Grey recently. I’m honestly pretty impressed with the current Queen Elizabeth, as well.

    If my 12-year-old daughter reminds me in time, yes, we’ll be watching the royal wedding. She’s the one I would love to have these paper dolls for. I remember getting up at 2:00 a.m. with my mother to watch Diana and Charles get married.

  152. Shannon Core

    March 30, 2018 at 9:32 am

    My favorite person in British History is Queen Victoria and I don’t believe we’ll be watching the May wedding, real-time. We’ll wait to watch in replay.
