Why the Queen Mother was my least favorite except Andrew
-
The UK Royal Family, its living and relatively recently deceased members, its history, and the history of the UK, are in my wheelhouse.
It's much too late for me to turn back even if I wanted to do it.
I never took a liking to the Queen Mother.
Her original Queen Mary of Teck balcony wave was pretentious, condescending, and cloying.
She lived beyond her means and died in debt.
She was an Edwardian. She felt entitled to do things like buy a private castle in Scotland, renovate it, and leave the heat on all year round to protect its interior.
She spoiled Charles. She always ensured Charles and Camilla could have a place to meet.
She hated Diana with a passion. She undermined her at every turn. She was Diana's least favorite member of the family.
The people were said to love her and to think of her as the grandmother of the country. I think this was PR. It is remarkable the people could barely manage to care when she passed.
But just now I had revelation about her life story.
It's always said she hated the Duke of Windsor for abdicating, and putting her husband on the throne, because she believed the stress of her husband becoming king allegedly lead him straight to the grave.
It's now known she resented her daughter for taking her place.
She didn't understand the system? She didn't respect it? It's likely she understood it. It's impossible she respected it. I think this was her greatest failure, placing herself, an ex-queen consort, over her queen regnant daughter.
She would constantly violate protocol for the first years of her daughter's reign, humiliating her by barging in front of her, then walking in front of her, to Queen Elizabeth's clearly expressed consternation and embarrassment.
She was extremely greedy and status hungry it not power hungry.
How is it she never wanted her husband to be King but she never stopped wanting to be Queen?
Something doesn't add up.
She was what she herself described herself to be-- a marshmallow with an arsenic center. 🤮

My least favorite Royal Family members in order.
-
Andrew. I think the depth of the evil he participated in can not be overstated.
-
Meghan Markle, a prostitute, a pathological liar and dissembler, who literally stalked her husband, has been married three times, not two, has left her father for dead, when he raised her, not her mother, when he spoiled her, and paid for every possible advantage and opportunity for her, had Andrew as a client, incidentally, did not bear at least one of her children, made a mockery of the Queen's memory, at the Queen's funeral, and before then, lied to Oprah and anyone who would listen, that she was a victim of racism, a narcissist, a ghoul, and a sociopath beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Her titles should not be put in abeyance. They should be taken away completely, and the sooner the better.
-
The Queen Mother. She didn't want her husband to be elevated, allegedly, but never met a title or a privledge she wanted to relinquish. Her treatment of Diana was unforgivable.
-
Prince Harry. He's made a career of telling blatant lies about his family, spoiled and entitled beyond belief, dumb as a box of rocks, has allowed himself to belief his wife's ghoulish gaslighting that she is the reincarnation of Diana, dishonest, greedy, arrogant, and stupid.
His titles should be taken away along with Megan Markle's for the same, dishonest, greedy, and intentionally destructive behavior they have shown his family.
-
Camila. Enough said.
-
Sarah Ferguson. She, allegedly, married for position and money. Nothing she has done in her life has done anything to dispell this rumor.
Her days of hiding behind her daughters are officially at an end.
- Charles. It takes a cold sort of person to be born into his role, to marry, and to insist on dumping his wife, and marrying his mistress.
His wife, the mother of his children, had no royal protection agents, for whatever the reason, it doesn't matter the reason, and ending up dead at 36.
His subsequent marriage had to be performed in a civil ceremony because it violated Parliamentary law and was illegitimate.
His reign was always going to be tarnished by this scandal and it's also being tarnished because he can't or won't perform his role as the head of the Church of England.
William and Catherine are very capable of performing their roles and I don't think their kids could be more charming.
I don't think the monarchy will ever be what it was during Queen Elizabeth's reign. That ship sailed when they cut Diana loose.
I think it could continue in a diminished but still respectable form.
My 2 cents.
