About The Crown Chronicles
History from across the centuries, Royalty from the 21st.
The Crown Chronicles is your trusted source for royal news, history, and heritage.
We were founded in 2015 by Victoria Howard, a seasoned royal commentator and historian with over a decade of experience, who continues to lead the site today.
Our approach combines high-quality and thorough reporting with rich historical context. We go beyond the headlines to explore the meaning behind the Monarchy, connecting the past with the present, and illuminating how the Crown has shaped, and continues to shape, British identity and public life.
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 traditions to diplomatic soft power, royal stories reveal a great deal about the UK’s identity over the centuries (as well as the former empire nations and Commonwealth today) and its global position today.
Stay for the latest royal engagements, a deep dive into royal jewels, uncovering the stories behind the palaces, and to understand the evolving role of the Monarchy, you’re in good company!

Who are we?
Like most news outlets, we do have a political leaning and we aim to be transparent about this.
We believe Constitutional Monarchy is a serious subject, with real cultural and civic impact. Our work is independent and aims to be fair: we will recognise service and the benefits of the institution, and we will also examine controversies, funding, and institutional flaws when the facts justify it and draw fact-based and contextually-relevant conclusions
