Introduction

It all started as "Exquisite Emmalisa" blogging in 2015, where I shared my love of blogging, and books, and travel and beauty, but things are about to get more REGAL.

You may know me as the "Royal Lover" who loves all things British, and the sheer delight of sipping tea at Fortnum and Mason or The Ritz at St James's. 

Elegance at its finest! and a quintessential British experience!

The Ritz also has a Facebook account......

But, hang on!

We are opening up a LIBRARY!

YES!

Exquisite Emmalisa is now going to hold collections of her writings, novels, book reviews, and so much MORE!

There may be a newsletter in swing!

But hold on, things are getting even more serious.

YEP!

Royal Wedding number two is what I want to attend, and if I am there or not, well, that will be revealed.

We all know of Meghan Markle making headlines around the world, and she also had her own blog, The Tig, until she decided to shut it down for good after making the decision to take on royal duties. 

How EXCITING!!!!!
