The Royal Handmaiden Society's main goal is to bring light to the forgotten characters of Star Wars prequels, the Royal Handmaidens. They are young women who follow Queen (and later Senator) Amidala of Naboo everywhere she goes to assist and protect her. They were chosen by the Queen herself upon her election for their courage, intelligence, fitness and resemblance to her.


02/10/08 Our first update of 2008! A happy belated New Year's to everyone!

Keira Knightley's lovely green dress from her film Atonement is being auctioned off for charity. Clothes Off Our Back auctions off costumes and donates proceeds to various children's charities. Bidding on the dress started at $1,000, but bids have already tripled! If any of you have a few thousand dollars laying around, and are a size 2, the auction ends on March 1.

Rose Byrne will be appearing at this year's Paley Fest at the Museum of Television and Radio in Los Angeles, California. Rose plays the character of Ellen Parsons on the television series Damages and will be appearing with the rest of the cast on Monday, March 24. Handmaiden Andé had the opportunity to see George Lucas at last year's Paley Fest. Here's hoping another RHSer will be able to attend this year!

We've updated our Links page this weekend. We added some Live Journal links of handmaideny interest, but deleted a lot of other links. It seems handmaiden sites are rapidly disappearing. On a positive note, we did add some links to some wonderful sites, so be sure to check them out. And we're still looking for some creative folks to send in some handmaiden Live Journal icons for a new page. If you have any you would like to share, please email Andé at rhs_ande at sbcglobal . net. We've been inundated with spam, so if you could use that email, we'd be grateful :)
