The Monaco royal family is no stranger to the spotlight, and today we are talking about the headlining generating Princess Stephanie, plus a catch up on modern royal gossip!

Harry and Meghan dropped a bomb on the Royal Rota last week, announcing they would be “stepping back” from their roles as Senior Royals and splitting time between North America and England.

We are talking about Royalty today, or should I say Royal Tea? Uh, sorry, we had to pun. But really, it works on both levels, because we do have to pause every now and then and ask ourselves, what is the importance of Royal tea in our modern times?

It’s a love/hate relationship on both sides, with few real winners, but oh my, is it fascinating!
