royalty section in collectables

[gazlannathai]

It would need a structure though, and as a starting point for discussion, I'd suggest .....

Collectibles - Royalty -
- British - Monarchs
- British - Princes & Princesses
- British - Minor Royals
- British - Royal Estates
- British - Royalty linked items
- Europe - Monarchs
- Europe - Other
- Non-European - Monarchs
- Non-European - Other

Feel free to add to it, but remember there are probably already categories in books, ceramics etc, which are used for royalty.

Fair enough on the monarchs but what about collectibles from Buck House, Windsor Castle etc

Also I think it would be important to seperate the European royal families (Denmark, Sweden, Monaco etc) from the rest of the world (Jordan, Brunei, Thailand, Bahrein, Saudi etc)

Also, what about royal commemoratives such as Charles & Diana in Australia, Canada etc? Charles is not yet, and sadly Diana will never be, a monarch.... Others just doesn't seem right for those.

There are really remarkably few that can't be allocated to a monarch... Charles is mostly commemorated along with his first wife - "Princess Diana" is not and never was her title but it is necessary to use it as it is what most people use.

The other countries? I specialised in royal collectables and I have had one Danish, one Swedish and one Norwegian in the last 4 years. We may need the other categories one day but not any time soon.

I agree , I find that when it comes to royalty most people are looking for british , that is why I just suggested a basic royalty section , then if anyone is interested they would know to look there ( trying to keep it simple )
