Royal peculiar

Okay, kiddo, listen up! Have you ever heard of the royal family of England? Well, they have some things that are really special and different from other things that belong to regular people. One of those things is called a "royal peculiar."

Now, a "peculiar" is a funny word, but it doesn't mean "strange" or "weird" in this case. It actually means something that belongs only to a certain group or person. For example, your special toy might be peculiar to you, because it's yours and nobody else's.

So, a royal peculiar is something that belongs only to the royal family of England. It's a special kind of church or cathedral that doesn't belong to any diocese, which is like a group of churches in a certain area. Instead, it belongs directly to the monarch, who is the king or queen of England.

Here's the catch, though: even though it belongs to the monarch, it's not used for regular church services like other churches. Instead, it's used for special events and important occasions, like coronations (when a new king or queen is crowned), royal weddings, or funerals.

So, in summary, a royal peculiar is a special church or cathedral that belongs directly to the monarch of England, and is used only for big, fancy events. Pretty cool, huh?
