2015 is almost over, so let’s take a look back at the Royal year and it’s most popular moments.
15. Starting our list of most popular stories in 2015 is the mistake that a BBC journalist made, tweeting that The Queen had died. Read the full story here.
14. A gay soldier told the tale of how Prince Harry stood up against homophobia for him. A heart-warming tale you can read again here.
13. After a photographer lay in the boot of his car to get pictures of Prince George, Kensington Palace asked for privacy for the children of William and Catherine.
12. Following the release of Royal accounts this year, anti-Monarchist organisation Republic hugely inflated the costs they said the Royal Family incurred. The Crown Chronicles debunked their lies here.
11. Her Majesty was the target of a Jihadi bomb plot, set to take place on the anniversary of VJ this summer. Steadfast as ever, The Queen did not let the threat phase her, and she attended the planned church service.

10. What does the Royal Family really cost? Well, not a lot actually! See our break down of the 2014/2015 costs: debunking Royal finance – the true cost of Monarchy.
9. Something not seen by many, it is no wonder this was such a popular article: look inside Clarence House, the London home of Prince Charles and Camilla. A very homely place, filled with antiques and family photos, it is well worth a visit the next time you are in London in August.

8. William and Harry spoke to TV duo Ant and Dec for a documentary on The Prince’s Trust. They revealed their dad is just like any other – embarrassing! He ‘rabbits on’ and has not changed a nappy!
7. In anticipation of Princess Charlotte’s christening, you couldn’t get enough of the details: where it would take place, who would perform the service and rumoured Godparents. Princess Charlotte’s christening details announced.
6. Republican Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn was given the style ‘Right Honourable’ before he was in the Privy Council – The Queen had to contact Parliament to tell them to remove this, stripping him of the title before he had it.
5. Prince George of Cambridge turned 2 in July, and we took a look back at his short life in pictures. Remind yourself of those chubby cheeks here.

4. In July, Princess Charlotte was christened, and you all loved reading about it and seeing the pictures. We even got a glimpse of the young Princess in her vintage pram, loaned to her parents by The Queen!
3. The official christening photos were released shortly after the event – William, Kate, Charlotte and George looked every inch the perfect family in the shots by Mario Testino.
2. The second set of photos of Princess Charlotte were taken by her mother and they were adorable! Remind yourself of the cuteness of the newest Royal arrival.
1. Unsurprisingly, it is the adorable Princess Charlotte who features in the top story of 2015 on The Crown Chronicles. These were the first official photos of the newborn, and she was cuddled up to big brother George in the images taken by The Duchess of Cambridge.
