As a student at a traditional British university, an institution that can trace its origins back to the 18th century in a country whose millennia-long history can be seen everywhere, one might think that I would be surrounded be like-minded people in full support of one of the most traditional aspects of our society.

Unfortunately for me, however,  most other students and young people (I'm 22) seem to be indifferent to the idea of monarchy at best and outright against the system in general with many openly identifying as republican or socialist. And bizarrely, despite the fact we have a long-established royal family that could be described as the most powerful (and therefore successful) in Europe, I, the monarchist, find myself outnumbered by those who wouldn't be totally against Britain becoming "The United Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

Fortunately though, I know that there are other monarchists out there. So I will be sharing my views, musings and knowledge about what interests me most...monarchy and aristocracy.

Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, my lords, ladies and gentlemen, watch this space.
