I never could understand what was so noble and self-sacrificing about a woman dressed in designer clothing jetting around blessing the little people with her smile. Until Charles went really nutty (or showed his true nuttiness), I had a bit of sympathy for him preferring to be with an earthy, bawdy Englishwoman rather than a dressed-up insecure neurotic. Princess Alexandra was the last one who could pull off that role, with dignity.
I’ve always found it interesting that one of Camilla’s ancestors was Alice Keppel, last best mistress of Edward the V!!.

I agree about the Queen and her riches and what she does. She is basically a figurehead and she HAS comported herself with dignity. Her kids...oh well...Charles, should have been allowed to marry whoever he wanted but he waited to long to ask Camilla and she got married while he was away. You read about Charles’childhood and he was not nurtured enough and he seems to have been lonely and insecure covered with a coating of privileged and spoiled. Oh fun!
Fergie is/was a trip but she is cute, Andrew is handsome but I don’t really know what he does, same with Edward. Princess Anne seems hard-working but kinda scary. Prince Philip...echhhhh!
Diana was a breath of fresh air in that she broke away from the waving British muppets and dared to make mistakes and also to reach out to those less fortunate.
