Young YouTuber welcomes rising child stars in a groundbreaking new video project

Popular YouTuber, presenter and Royal Family commentator Lydia Alty, who is celebrating turning 20 today (5 May), is proud to unveil a groundbreaking new project on her acclaimed channel, Royal Reporter Lydia. For the first time, Lydia has opened her platform to a cast of 13 talented young actors who take the lead in a special episode dedicated to their unique voices, perspectives, and questions about the Royal Family.

Premiering Tuesday, May 21 at 6pm, the video will showcase the children putting their thoughtful, charming, and often surprising questions directly to royal experts—and a very special surprise guest. This format offers a fresh and engaging take on royal commentary, delivered through the lens of the next generation.

A Creative and Collaborative Production

The project was born from Lydia’s desire to make her content more inclusive and creative, bringing together young minds with a genuine curiosity for history, tradition, and public life.

“This was one of the most joyful collaborations I’ve worked on,” said Lydia. “The children were incredibly engaged and asked such intelligent, heartfelt questions. It was inspiring to see how naturally they connected with the world of royalty in their own way.”

Each young participant had the opportunity to prepare and ask their own question, making the video truly led by them and their interests. The result is a charming and insightful watch that combines education, entertainment, and youth-led storytelling.
