About the All About Royal Families Blog
Hello and welcome on the All About Royal Families blog!
My name is Kathelijne but everyone calls me Kathleen Van Lierop
(unless on Twitter (X)).
I'm born, grew up and still live in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium, a
beautiful city between Antwerp and Ghent with a lot of (royal) history.
But the love for royals and history was given to me by my maternal
grandmother. She could tell hours about Empress Elisabeth of Austria
(Sisi), Queen Victoria, Napoleon and of course our own royal family,
the one of Belgium.
Temse, Belgium
When I was a kid, I always thought, royal lives were as on the
cookie boxes or as in real fairy tales, however during the years,
I discovered that being a royal could be tough too:
the complicated (arranged) marriages,
the politics, the finances, reforms, ...
all wasn't that easy for the kings and queens in past and present times.
My first steps as a royalty "blogger", written in
Dutch on the age of 11
in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium (1990)
The All about royal families blog
At the beginning, I wanted to keep a database with information about
the history of the royal families. That plan is transformed during the years.
Now it is a "real" blog, although it has sometimes the form of a database :-)
I started to keep information however it grew over the years to a collection of
wonderful stories connected to the royals and their families.
The history of royal families is a big bone that contains lots of interesting
topics such as: traveling, shopping, books, splendid royal destinations,
jewellery, fashion and much more.
During the years - via this blog - I met the most lovely people of all the world,
online and offline, which made my life only more brighter than ever.
To keep making it beautiful, you will not find here gossips but
only true history and facts. I also don't like to talk about politics or other
things that people can hurt or offend.
Oh yes, my native language is Dutch, although I often speak and
write in English. I also have a good knowledge of French,
notes of German and Spanish.
I wish you lots of fun while visiting the
All About Royal Families blog.
Best wishes
Kathleen Van Lierop
