"Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all of its own" - Philip Treacy
Project 365: #74
Ernst August - the King of Hannover from 1837 to 1851, son of George III, a landmark outside the main train station. You forget in the day to day routine that royalty still exists in Europe. There are still descendants living in Hanover, and a great history between Germany and Great Britain. One of my favourite things while living here was visiting all the castles (the family just roll their eyes...not another castle...) You can almost feel the history in the walls. I always imagine what it must have been like to be the elite and royalty in those days, and would have enjoyed living then. Royalty truly has a magic that you can feel. Not so much the middle and lower classes, especially in winter. It is quite remarkable how resourceful people have been through the ages, and how we have survived until now! Oh yes, this was today, note the awesome summer weather, pouring with rain and 14 degrees!
