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.
Yay! I love Queen Elizabeth (the first:)), and no, I’m not planning on watching the royal wedding.
Queen Elizabeth! And wasn’t planning on it, but maybe now I’ll tune in!!
Queen Elizabeth. Yes!
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.
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.
My favorite British historical figure is Julian of Norwich. We will watch the royal wedding May.
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.
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!!
Princess Diana! And yes I plan on wAtching the wedding! My family and I are actually moving to England from Canada in June!
I think my favorite would have to be the current Queen Elizabeth. And yes, we will probably watch the royal wedding!
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!
William Tyndale! Yes I plan on watching it.
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.
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.
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!
My favorite character in British History was Sir Issac Newton. And, no, probably not.
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!
Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. I have never watched a royal wedding so I doubt I will watch this one.
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.
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!
I love Queen Elizabeth, and may watch the wedding!
I admire William Wilberforce for his courage. I’m hoping to watch at least part of the wedding! 🙂
Queen Elizabeth. Nope.
