I had every intention of waking up at 5 and watching it on ABC, but I ended up sleeping right through the coverage. I blame the dreary weather! But I’ve been watching clips of the highlights online.
Great list! Lots of books I haven’t heard of before. Whenever I think of royal YA, I automatically think of The Princess Diaries lol I loved that series when I was younger, but I never finished it. I still have the last two books to read.
I had no intention of getting up at 5 am, but I have been watching clips and reading articles. Yes, the Princess Diaries was everything when it came out and is still a classic!
I totally watched the wedding this morning and still have it on. I recently got the Royal We and need to make time for it!
Oh, I want to know how that is. I should go back and asterisk the books on the list that I have read…
The royal wedding was pretty awesome to see. 🙂 And Romancing the Throne looks fun!
It looked like a beautiful day!
I did NOT watch “the wedding”, but there were tons of pictures clogging my social media feeds. So, nothing missed there. I loved Royally Lost. It was adorable. And the Royal We – so fabulous! Royals was super fun too. I am actually surprised that I have read so many of these (6)
Ha -you are a Royal Romance fan after all…
I didn’t watch the wedding. I woke up and pretty much saw everything on my social media from everyone recording and taking snap shots of the ceremony. LoL
I also figured that there would be plenty of coverage – I watched a replay of part of it last night.
I did not watch the wedding or read any of these. *fail* lol

That is okay.
Girl this is exactly what I needed. The Royal Wedding got me feeling some type of way.
I am very happy to hear that!
Thanks for the list! My library copy of The Royals should be here any day.. and eventually I also want to read Romancing the Throne 🙂
I want to read the Royals too!
I have to admit I am not a fan of the royal wedding at all because I don’t support the monarchy BUUT having said that I love a good monarchy in my books! I haven’t read any of these but I want to read The Heir and the Spare, and I have heard good things about Royals and The Royal We. I have read Inconceivable by Tegan Wren and I loved that royal romance story and it being about the pressures of motherhood and fame. I highly recommend it!
Ooh – I am very interested to hear more. Having been born in a country without a monarchy, I find it all kind of cool and glamorous. I might feel differently if my tax dollars went to support it all…
