[Sasparilla]

...Why all this for a person who did absolutely nothing besidesbeing born...

And she has done that famously. And with dignity. Not bad for a woman who was trained as a vehicle mechanic during her military service in WWII.

I have always admired her. Not for the "royalty" thing, but because of how she rose to the challenge. She was a very young woman who was thrust into a an all-consuming job she may not have wanted. In the process some dreams or goals that young woman may have had outside of that job were shelved. Yet she "kept calm and carried on", and has performed her duty quite well while managing a family in the process. The fancy trappings of royal life aside, she accepted a heavy burden but to my knowledge has never complained publicly. I have to respect someone like that.
