Awesome magazine

This magazine is awesome. Great articles and photos! Very professional.

The only quality choice

Majesty magazine is one of two magazines that I purchase every month without exception. The articles and pictures contained within are of the highest quality. Focusing on the British Royal family the magazine never fails to impress with informative historical information about the Royal Palaces and their occupants. Each month the magazine reports on current events involving members of the Royal family with colour pictures to accompany the articles. If you don't live in Britain and don't have the chance to attend events where members of the Royal family will be then this is as good as it gets. Majesty is always a fascinating read and quite frankly I couldn't live without it.

The average fish in a very small sea

I fear - and I mean this in a kindly and supportive way - that Majesty has had the run of the playground for far too long. There was a brief period in the latter '80's when Royalty was giving it some worthy competition, but even that magazine has deteriorated so far in quality that it is no longer a serious contender. I have read Majesty every month for 19 years. Other issues have been better than others, but it was generally reliable in a matronly aunt kind of way. My criticism is that it seems to be entirely lacking in, well, criticism. There are only so many times you can read about the dear old Queen Mother and her delightful spending habits. Even her death hasn't stemmed the tide. Diana, Princess of Wales, made for fantastic copy. She was beautiful, young, exciting, and complicated. And people would far rather read about complicated people than about steady, reliable types. The Queen, for example. Majesty Magazine made no secret that it, or rather the editor Ingrid Seward, did not care for the Princess when she was alive. I found this to be amazingly ignorant - not just because I found the Princess rather fascinating, but because an awful lot of other people did, too. Majesty has for years seemed to have been engaged in a resentful tug of war with the hand that fed its coffers. Having been handed a publisher's dream, they spent 15 years in tight-lipped disapproval and after her death in resolute denial. Refusing to report on the more sensational stories of the Royal Family - which would seem to be their raison d'etre, wouldn't it? - has caused Majesty's stories and reporting to become ever more recycled and bland to the point of tedium. After spending years eagerly looking forward to my monthly copy, I can barely summon the interest to glance at it in the newsagent's. It didn't have to be this way.
