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!

Victoria holds a master’s degree in history and has been analysing the Royal Family in national and international media for over seven years.

This isn’t just work – it’s what we love. Our fascination with royal tradition, heritage, and storytelling drives everything we do. That’s why you’re here too, right?!

We don’t just report the what – we explain the why it matters. Context is key, so we offer depth and nuance in every piece and bring historical depth and clarity to modern-day royal coverage. 

We reflect the wide-ranging international interest the British Monarchy continues to attract today,  with our writers (past and present) from all four corners of the globe, much like our readers.

We report with an awareness of the Monarchy’s complex past and its role in today’s international landscape, recognising its ongoing role in diplomacy, service, and cultural identity across the Commonwealth.

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.
