Taking a break from this blog

Hi,

If you subscribe to this blog, you may notice that since I stopped doing my show that it was been infrequently updated. I am going to take a break from this site for the time being. Hopefully oneday I will return but for now I’m having a hard time maintaining it. Since I cancelled my show I have felt a need to pare down my royal sites and focus on my main site, Marilyn’s Royal Blog, instead.

I hope that you will join me over at that site. You can also subscribe to it as I update it far more frequently than this one. Here is the link: www.marilynsroyalblog.blogspot.com

Thanks very much for subscribing

This will be the last episode of 2011.

I have decided to take an indefinate break from doing the show. As much as I love doing it, I feel as though I’ve said everything there is to say. I’ve covered this topic from every conceivable angle that and now that William and Catherine are married and the succession rules have changed, I don’t know what else there is to cover.So I’m taking a break to re-evaluate the future of the show.

My archives at BlogTalkRadio will still be available to listen to. Over the past four years I think I’ve done some good episodes there, so you’re welcome to treasure hunt!
