Stuck in the house and bored? I’ve got your back! There are enough Royal Family-related books, TV shows, movies, documentaries, and podcasts to get you through at least a week or two of quarantine. So stay home, cozy up, and enjoy my favorite Royal Family-related entertainment.
Any I missed? Shoot me an email and I’ll add it!
Books, Magazines, a Cookbook, and a Blog

· William and Catherine: A Royal Wedding, Andrew Morton
· Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, Andrew Morton
· The Queen and Di, Ingrid Seward

· Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life, Sally Bedell Smith
· Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret, Craig Brown
· Literally anything by Katie Nicholl or Christopher Andersen
· More of a magazine person? No magazines do Royal coverage better than Vanity Fair and Town & Country.
· In the mood to cook while quarantined? Check out the Duchess of Sussex’s cookbook, Together: Our Community Cookbook. And then bring the food over to my house. I'm running low.
· Also, you can totally find back blogs of Meghan’s The Tig with a little Googling.
· Or you could just catch up on back posts of the best Royal Family blog of all time – The Duchess Commentary.
