About Us
History from across the centuries, Royalty from the 21st.
The Crown Chronicles is your trusted source for royal news, history, and heritage. We offer insightful, balanced coverage of the British monarchy in the modern world.
Founded and led by Victoria Howard, a seasoned royal commentator and historian with over a decade of experience, in 2015, the site combines high-quality reporting, rich historical context, and a passion for making the monarchy (past and present) accessible and relevant to all.
Why just the British Monarchy and its story? Well, it’s more than a family: it’s a living institution with global reach. From palace tradition to diplomatic soft power, royal stories reveal a great deal about Britain’s identity over the centuries. At The Crown Chronicles, we go beyond the headlines to explore the meaning behind the monarchy, connecting history, culture and public life through thoughtful, engaging content.
From tracking royal engagements and state visits to uncovering the stories behind historic traditions, we seek to connect the past with the present – illuminating how the Crown has shaped, and continues to shape, British identity, and public life.
Whether you’re here for the latest family news, a deep dive into royal jewels, or to understand the evolving role of the monarchy, you’re in the right place!

Who are we?
Like most news outlets, we do have a political leaning and we aim to be transparent about this.
We believe that constitutional monarchy benefits the UK (and the other nations The King is Head of State, such as Canada), by taking a large political element out of the role of Head of State, and highlighting good causes and heroes across the nation through charity work. The wider Royal Family supports these goals through their work, and act as a focal point for national celebrations.
But we want to ensure fairness and clarity in our work and still want to be balanced in our reporting.
We seek to be objective: if there are flaws in the system that need to be highlighted, we will do so, including individual’s actions which might warrant questioning or even criticism.
