The Royal Family has joined the blogosphere. Yes, it’s true. I heard about this from Melodee at The Amazing Shrinking Mom.

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has joined the ClubMom blogging team. Can you believe it? Take a deep breath. If you’re a blogger, you’re now in royal company.

For some reason, I feel validated. Blogging is hip. Maybe the Queen herself will be posting one of these days — or at least leaving a comment.

Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, is passionately committed to improving the lives of children. The Duchess travels the world to build support for a number of children’s causes …

The Duchess of York balances being a mother to two daughters, Princess Beatrice of York (age 18) and Princess Eugenie of York (age 16), and charity work with a diverse international career.

Pour yourself a cup of hot tea and check out The Duchess Diaries. And remember, in England, they call us “mums,” which doesn’t mean a flower. Say that with a British accent, “I’m a mum. Would you care to join me for a cup of tea?”

Maybe I’ll invite her for a visit here someday, if she’s not too busy doing duchess-y things.

P.S. I left a comment at Duchess Diaries. hehe. I wonder if she’ll read it. I feel like I’ve chatted with a royal this morning (don’t tell her I’m in my bathrobe and slippers).
