Holy Cow! This is great!
So much more than I anticipated. Extremely organized, easy to understand, and believe it or not, absolutely beautiful graphics. This is a lot of fun and not dry at all. I’m really enjoying it. Would LOVE to see a section on the various Crown Jewels/tiaras in a future version!
Obviously this needs to be updated now.
This is missing an entry for King Charles III.
UPDATE
Great app I loved it for the past three years however due to her Majesty‘s death you need to update this app.
FANTASTIC APP!!!
I was nervous to download it (at first) because it’s been years since it’s had an update but I chanced it and found what’s probably the best English Monarch app I’ve ever seen! Great job ...
Prince Charles info is not all correct!
Great app but under Prince Charles it says that his and Diana’s divorce was the same year that they separated. That’s not true or correct, their divorce was not final until 1996! Thus also making your claim that she died in 1993 and she passed in 1997!
Line of succession not updated in last 2 years???
Not sure why this app which is from the Royal Collection Trust does not include Prince Louis who is 2 years old??? You would think it would have been updated after he was born. Such a small thing is a HUGE miss so really can’t think this is credible source...
Well-intended, but flawed
At times tricky to navigate, Kings & Queens is less a go-to than a novelty with many missing details and opportunities to update.
