Royal Britain Presents Royal Life Magazine - Issue 69

In this issue

Welcome to Royal Britain, a magazine celebrating the joys of a delightfully diverse and bewilderingly beautiful country with a unique charm that captivates almost anyone who visits, or is lucky enough to call it home.
Of course part of what makes Britain Great is its amazing history, the recording of which began in 55–54 BC, when Julius Caesar arrived with conquest in mind. Guerrilla resistance and bad weather spoiled his plans, but almost 100 years later, in AD 43, the emperor Claudius launched a full-scale invasion, and Britain’s Roman era began.
The Romans stayed in Britain for almost four centuries. In some parts of the country they were met with rebellion and resistance, but in more peaceful areas cities were founded, villas constructed and a network of roads developed that can still be traced today. And in AD 122, the emperor Hadrian, visiting Britain, ordered the building of his famous wall.
We won’t be taking you back that far, but in this issue you can read all about Windsor Castle, built by William the Conqueror, whose resounding triumph over King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 marked the dawn of a new era. This is also the dawn of a new era for Royal Life presents Royal Britain, and we’re sure you will agree that this issue is packed with fascinating features that all Royal fans will enjoy!
