On this episode I reviewed what I consider to be the worst official royal websites for Monaco, Belgium and Japan.
You can listen to the podcast here.
Good sites mentioned:
The Royal Representative
Forbes: The World's Richest Royals
Links for the worst sites:
Prince's Palace of Monaco
Official site for the Belgian Monarchy
The Imperial Household Agency Homepage
The next episode of The Royal Report will be on Sunday August 31st, 2008 9:00PM EST (North America)
The topic will be: This year will mark the 11th anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Have we finally moved on?

If being royal is so extraordinary, why do the royals want to be ordinary?
Being royal is clearly not all it is cracked up to be. Gilt here and there. Liveried footmen abound. Church bells ring on your birthday. Red...

Must be starting with the Michael Kent's.....
Actually I did an episode where I reviewed the British sites, his included. Considering the position that he's in, I think it's an appropriate site. Of the British sites, hands down the worst one is for the Duke of York.
Haven't had a chance to listen to the episode yet, but I agree with your choices, except maybe for the Imperial Household Agency -- it's a poorly organized site and lacks images, but it provides speeches and interviews (although they're often posted late). Also, translations of the imperial family's New Year's poems are posted there, which I appreciate because people keep asking me where they can find those!
I agree that the IHA's site has a lot of good information on it. If you're willing to take the time to search for it. The way the site looks is a turn-off, especially since it visually hasn't changed in the last 2 years. So a lot of fascinating information, such as traditional ceremonies or what the royal family does, is lost. A house may have a lot of beautiful treasures inside, but if it looks derelict on the outside there's no encouragement to go in. It's a shame.
Very true, and it's frustrating because, as you say, there are a lot of treasures buried there.
