A special presentation by British Journalist Cathy Hollowell, who has given talks all over Texas about her travels as a tabloid reporter for three of Britains top daily newspapers. Right now she is working on a book ... so she doesn’t forget all the adventures and the people she met on her interviews of the rich, famous, infamous and Royal.

As Cathy Couzens she even had a television commercial done by the great Mohammed Ali. “When Cathy Couzens has a hunch...watch it man, she don’t pull no punch”. There were 52 posters of her going down the escalator of the Jubilee Line in London. She says that by the time she got to see them she seemed to have grown black teeth , beards, mustaches and all sorts of extras...ah the price of fame.

When she covered the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana she had another marriage in mind. She had just met a man on an airplane.  Two weeks later they were married in Reno and that is how she ended up in Texas.  American engineer, Don Hollowell lived in Houston.

Cathy did not give up journalism. Over the years she covered stories for the British papers.  Using her skills from the tabloid days she broke the story of the Duchess of York and Steve Wyatt... covered all the NASA stories and sent over everything from the wife who ran over her dentist husband to the cheer leading Mom who shocked us all.

When members of the Royal Family wed, die or have a crisis, Channel 2 in Houston gives her a call to come in and explain.  Her talks on the British Monarchy are fun...but so are the tales of Mohammed Ali, Bob Hope, Elton John, Maggie Thatcher and the time she was held at gun point by the mistress of a Russian spy...and arrested in Saudi Arabia by the King’s body guards.

Now she is waiting for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle....to be followed later in year by Princess Eugenia of York and Jack Brooksbank.  Both weddings will be in St George’s chapel at Windsor Caste.

So are these Royals the most interesting ?  King James 1 was worth a few words, and so was King George 1V.  But those may be stories for another day.
