Royal Magazines and TV-Programs

There are many magazines and TV-channels that sometimes report about the royals in the world. There are however just very few specialized magazines, not surprisingly they are almost all published in monarchies. But which specialized magazines are around? Unfortunately apart from some English language magazines, most of them are only available in the country itself. An overview:

• Adel aktuell, published monthly in Germany.
• Adel heute, since 2012 monthly published in Germany. Not really high quality, rather gossip.
• Alles over Koninklijke Geschiedenis, quarterly magazine in Dutch about royal history. Stopped being published 2017.
• Billed Bladet Royal, which seems to be published in Denmark four + 1 times a year.
• De Oranjes, special of the Dutch magazine Royalty, appears about three times a year.
• European Royal History Journal, quarterly from the USA, mainly about royal history.
• Frau im Spiegel Royal, a German magazine about royalty that is published every two months. My German favourite.
• Gotha Royal, published in France. Apparently not an own website and I am not quite sure whether it is still being published.
• History of Royals, published in Great Britain. Stopped being published in 2017.
• Hofjournaal / Le journal Royal, quarterly magazine in Dutch or French, only on sale in Belgium. It stopped being published.
• Koninklijke Hoogheid, a tiny magazine published by the Dutch royal historian Arnout van Cruyningen.
• Kungliga Magasinet, Swedish magazine that used to publish six regular issues a year and three special issues. Unfortunately it hasn’t been published for several years now.
• Majesty Magazine, montly magazine published in Great Britain.
• Royal Life, appears six times a year in Great Britain.
• Royal Russia, appears twice a year, published in Canada in the English language.
• Royals, a Belgian magazine that appeared several times a year between 1999 and 2017. At one time the magazine was even published in Dutch, French and German.
• Royalty, a British montly magazine.
• Royalty, Dutch magazine that appears 10 times a year + two De Oranje issues.
• Royalty Digest Quarterly, appears four times a year. Published in Sweden in English language. Mainly about royal history.
• Royauté, a French magazine that seems to appear every three months. NOT recommendable, outdated articles often already published elsewhere.
• Vorsten, a montly Dutch magazine (+ a year special) that has appeared since 1973.

Other magazines that regularly have reports about royals and nobles, but are not about royals only, are for example:

• Aspects of History, a bi-monthly British magazine about history.
• Billed Bladet, a Danish weekly magazine with lots of royal coverage.
