The Queen Mother
She was the last empress of India and she lived for more than a century. We examine the life of the “Queen Mother” (a name she found “horrible” by the way)--her charm, her trips, her dinner parties, her relationship with other royals, and her loyal staff (many of whom were gay flamboyant men).

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

Is the Royal Family as popular in England as they are made out to be in the U.S media?

The Royals are incredibly popular in the U.K. among the general populous. There are newpaper columns, magazines and websites dedicated to anything and everything considered "Royal." Although there are many who protest the system, it is often cited as a major incentive for visiting tourists to visit the U.K. The loss of the Royal Family would be a great loss of tourist pounds.
