Houston Crown Herald

The Houston Crown Herald (commonly referred to locally as the Crown Herald and internationally as the HCH) is a Brazorian daily, founded and published out of Houston, San Jacinto, since 14 October 1862. The Crown Herald has the largest print circulation among metropolitan newspapers in Brazoria, and it is considered the sole national in Brazoria.

The Crown Herald has been owned by the Allen-Williamson family since its conception, with the current head of the family, Lord Charles Allen-Williamson II, holding the positions of Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper. Furthermore, the Crown Herald is owned by the Crown Herald Media Company, of which Lord Charles Allen-Williamson II is the Chairman of the Board of Directors. After the peak year of the newspaper, 1983, in which regular weekly readership often reached over 4.5 million, the Allen-Williamson family was given indefinite peerage and its primate was given hereditary induction into the College of Peers.

The Crown Herald was one of the last major newspapers in Brazoria to switch to format, and it was also one of the last newspapers to adopt the popular six column format, down from its traditional eight. The style of the Crown Herald is often considered  and vaguely, but the newspaper is known for its extreme support of monarchism.
