Welcome to the Platinum Jubilee 2022

Carolyn Harris Royal Historian Newsletter

Royal Tour of Canada by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall and Jubilee Celebrations in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth

In May-June 2022, I discussed the Royal Tour of Canada and the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth with the media in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland. I provided television commentary for CBC, CTV, Zoomer and the BBC as well as a variety of newspapers, magazines, websites and radio programs. My 2022-2023 teaching schedule is also online at this time and I have reviewed a recent collection of scholarly articles about the wedding of King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria in 1625 for the Journal of British Studies.
