The real worry now for the Queen is the health of her mother, the Queen Mum. It was said on the news today that the Queen Mum had vowed not to die before the conclusion of the celebration of her daughter's 50th year on the throne. The Queen Mum is said to be in delicate health too and at 101 that is not suprising. I hope the ol gal lasts a good bit longer. I am not wild about the Royal Family. I find it interesting in terms of family dynamics. But any real respect for that lot I lost because of the treatment of Princess Diana. But that is a whole nuther story. Still, sympathy to the Queen..they are people and it is a family member.
One thing Princess Margaret must have done well and that is as a mother. I can't recall ever hearing any scandals about her son and daughter. Someone, despite her high life, did something right!
