About us

Welcome to Royal Jubbly, the everything and anything guide to the royals whether you adore or abhor them all.

Is the Queen's Golden Jubilee the event of the year or the non-event of the decade? This weeny conversation piece has dredged up the row about whether Britain should have a monarchy at all. Rather than riding one high horse, we at Royal Jubbly have reined together a pack of views under one cyber roof.

We are seven journalism postgrads at City University in London. This long hard stare at the nation's most controversial family comes to you devoid of commercial interest, i.e. this marvel is a labour of love (almost). We have trotted through history and cantered across the field of opinion. We hope you find it informative and entertaining.

If you want to send us your political manifesto, your gushing praise or if you would like to contact us about anything else email us at

The Team:

Abigail Frymann - Editor
Nickname: Meine Führerin
Abi, 25, has led a life of debauchery and Day Nurse abuse. She is currently cold turkey and instead spends her time compiling lists of tasks to inflict on her underlings. Considered invading the Südetenland during her brief tenure but her tank broke down.
Verdict: Monarchist

Pete Wilson - Deputy Editor
Nickname: Doesn't see the point in nicknames - thinks they are too "Ocean's Eleven".
Pete, 25, dealt remarkably well with having no compunction to work in HTML and being the only staunch monarchist of the group (hence quiz master). He has remarkably [please check repetition, Ads - Dep Ed] kept Welsh rugby references to a minimum. Which is just as well really. Verdict: Monarchist

Tom Campbell - HTML Editor
Nickname: Gooner
A chaste man, Tom, aged 27, enjoys football, cycling and criticising Adam's ideas and he has dealt with Arsenal's Champions League failure with great aplomb. A judicious proof-reader, Tom will delight all with his work rate and handouts of Creme Eggs.
Verdict: Republican

Manfreda Cavazza - Design Editor
Nickname: Geek
Freddie, who used to sing on Rainbow with Rod and Jane, is 23 and is prone to bouts of foul and abusive language. Is blessed with an unflappable temperament in the face of troublesome web design software. Has an envious ability to laugh uncontrollably when all around are losing their heads.
Verdict: Monarchist

Celeste Biever - Section Editor and all round genius
Nickname: Sheila
Celeste, 23, has spent her time during production, perfecting a pseudo-Kiwi, quasi-Australian accent. A Chemistry graduate, she has had, fortunately no reason to delight us all with fascinating scientific facts about the Royal Family. Is prone to speaking to computer screens. Has a tendency to refer to all males as "Bruce".
Verdict: Republican

Chloe Stothart - Art Editor and Illustrator
Nickname: The corgi stalker
Chloe's desire to find corgi pictures for the site has led to obsessive behaviour at dangerous levels. Indeed, she has had to deal with weeks of banal, irrational requests for illustrations and photographs. She has succeeded in all tasks, even with the corgi pic. Just don't ask her to find another one. She may throttle you.
Verdict: "Utterly neutral" - apologies for her cop out

Adam Withrington - Advertising, Press Relations, a modicum of HTML and tea boy
Nicknames: History Boy, Bruce, God
Adam, 23, can talk the talk, in HTML terms, but boy can he NOT walk the walk. Has struggled to swim in a swamp of HTML apathy. However, has enlightened colleagues with his historical "knowledge", fits of accent abuse and poor shorthand. Makes a damn fine cup of tea, despite penchant for beer and nuts. Unlikely to be found in Bar 38 in the near future.
Verdict: Republican, so long as a certain Member of Parliament for Sedgefield isn't President.
