She spread herself around all over the place well before she accused Charles of doing so. She was protected, but in the end we all realised what she was. It's not surprising that people said Charles wasn't Harry's father (he is, of course, because he looks the image of Prince Philip) because she certainly made a name for herself. No wonder Charles felt betrayed. What woman with any decency would denigrate the father of her sons on TV - knowing that those young boys were watching and the next day all their mates would know what she'd said? She was dishonourable, selfish and completely self-interested. Nasty, poisonous, arrogant and self aggrandising woman. Horrible.

Why do the English still have a Royal Family the people support through taxes, by the way...the Queen can't vote or do much without the permission of her government, so other than supporting charities all over the place; going on 'meet & greets'; opening ceremonies and being a figure head...I don't understand why the people still continue with this farce of a 'royal blood line'...just asking...

I think, no one of us here was there with them. I think that the queen mother had old values, which does not tolerate to have many lovers during marriage for women. According old values the wife should sit at home with her children, being all the time nice and kind, while the husband has mistresses. I am not saying that this is right or should be tolerate, but time ago women could find their way to have a lover if they wanted during their marriage, but do not gossip about themselves. But the queen mother had her values do not have lover even if your marriage is not good. The mother, wife should be a heart of her family. Otherwise everybody should educate themselves about mental illnesses Diana had. How hard was this for her and how imaginably terrible for her environment. Being ill is nobody's fault, but fact, a really sad fact. But there is most of the time a cure which Diana did not want. The whole story is sad. Diana at least only one lover, but it is too late. Poor Diana she was totally lost but she want win, which was not possible. Megan is smart, she escaped in time and took Harry and a baby with her.

It was not considered to be a divorce, since for Henry VIII, his first marriage was not really valid, he did not divorce but got his marriage annulled. In fact, he thought that he did not get a male-heir because he married his late brother's wife, Catherine of Aragon, therefore he thought he was cursed (since there's a verse in the Bible stating that any man marrying his late brother's wife would be cursed). Hence why he broke out from the catholic Church to get his marriage annulled, marry Anne Boleyn, and obtain at last his so desired male-heir, but as you know even Anne Boleyn did not begot him a son, thus he beheaded her and so on so forth.

There’s legions of women who would have handed him his family jewels in a match box for humiliating her in front of the world the way he did. It apparent that those with “real power” can whack you off at the knees and then use their media accomplices to tear you apart because you’re too damned short!

The so-called 'nations favourite grandmother' appears to have been a deeply unpleasant racist snob, who was contented for black people and the 'lower orders' to have their place in the world providing they knew where it was and didn't attempt to go beyond it. To her understanding and prejudice, this seemed to mean dependent, powerless and, one way or another, engaged in serving those of higher social rank. In some accounts of her, she is described as being obsessed with lineage; though presumably this only applies to those who have a lineage worth paying attention to. She considered sub-Saharan Africans incapable of shaping their own destiny efficiently, and far better off under colonial rule. She was very much a product of her class and time, where the boundaries people adhered to were inherited and imposed at birth. She certainly wasn't alone in her outlook, which didn't change when attitudes shifted sharply following the second world war and continued in that direction. So in awe of her own prestige and advantage, she wouldn't do anything which might compromise that. You wouldn't expect a self-indulgent, intolerant racist snob like Elizabeth to be a nice person, and you'd be right, as those who married into this chaotic circus of a family has found. I think we can reasonably gauge what she would have thought of Harry's marriage to Meghan - a mixed-race, non Aristocratic, American divorcee. She would probably have required CPR on hearing of his intention. And a bit like the early medieval barons who took pride in their illiteracy, she appears to have gloried in her lack of intellectual sophistication and prowess; there is an account of T.S Elliot being given an audience with her and her family where he read The Waste Land, a privileged experience she was incapable of appreciating. She thought the poem was called The Desert and when corrected said... "I'm afraid we all giggled. Such a gloomy man, looked as though he worked in a bank, and we didn't understand a word".

I watched a video last evening of the RF being greeted at a formal event. Queen Elizabeth II was being very patient as the Queen Mum walked before her to be greeted. Her Majesty and Prince Philip patiently behind her. You see, that says it all……she was the Queen (consort) with George VI for about 15 years, and liked it….a lot. She was not going to give up that position just because her daughter was now the Queen Regent. As protocol demands, she should have entered and been greeted behind her daughter. She put herself ahead of her daughter the entire time she lived at Buckingham Palace with them, when the staff would refer to the Queen, she automatically assumed they meant her. The staff started to call her the Queen, and Queen Elizabeth II was referred to as Her Majesty to differentiate between the two. Finally, she was relocated to her own residence, to ease the confusion. She always put herself first.

The story of Diana can be summarised in a couple of sentences: 1) She married too young into an institution she was ill-equipped to cope with, and her husband couldn't deal with her, nor the Royals. 2) She then make another big mistake of marrying Al Fayed's (an outcast and dubious character in UK) son, and he let a drunken driver from Fayed's Paris Ritz hotel drive her around and he drove at nearly 100mph under a curving underpass bridge at night and she got killed in a car wreck. There's no conspiracy. It was just a tragic life cut short by bad choices by Diana, and problems that she had during her time as Princess (eating disorder, depression, major stress) and an unsupportive husband.

I hope none of Victoria's children looked like her. That was a terrible thing to say wasn't it? True, though.

[@deborahwatson2331]

Victoria was the great grandmother of her husband, George VI, she was no blood relation to Victoria so why should any of Victoria's children have looked like her ?

[@glen7318]

many of them did look like her. Why do you say such a silly thing. Children tend to look like hteir parents.

[@BravyM9]

Never cared much for the Queen Mother. After seeing this l like her even less. The best thing about her is that she was married to a remarkable man.

[@MsCarlota19]

The Queen Mum was a much more devious and complex character than her idealised public image suggested. She was unashamedly snobbish and prejudiced towards " foreigners" particularly jews, indians and Africans. Her private letters display many of those prejudices of her era. She was quite callous towards staff who fell on hard times or needed time with their own families and treated her daughters' governess shamefully. She also schemed behind Prince Philip's back to encourage courtiers to disdain his orders. She was no doubt a loving mother and grandmother though.

.........and didn't royal family members (?Princess Margaret?) 'destroy' many of the Q.M's rather more "extreme" letters regarding the prejudices you mention?

I think the relationship between the Queen Mother and her husband, the King, is very sweet. It's a case of opposites attracting working out very well, which doesn't always happen.

[@Carim700]

No, the King was an extremely insecure man due to his terrible upbringing and Elizabeth took advantage of that and was the power behind the throne. Read Lady Colin Campbell’s book on the Queen Mother and you will be astonished to learn so many things. It’s a very well researched and well written book. Elizabeth was extremely controlling, with her daughters as well. Queen Elizabeth II felt liberated when her mother died. We saw many examples of this.

[@Iiwii11]

@@Carim700 I don’t personally consider Lady Colin Campbell to be the expert on all things royal. She definitely likes to write juicy things to make money though.

[@lina4210]

@@Carim700 And you consider "Lady" Colin Cambell a reliable source of information? Lol I couldn't read more than 1 chapter of her lousy book because she writes terribly, makes tons of grammatical mistakes, never cites any sources and makes up all sorts of bullshit. When she wrote the Queen Mother and Mollie, Duchess of Buccleuch had a feud over James Stuart and never spoke to each other again I rolled my eyes and stopped reading. Just after Mollie's wedding the Queen Mother wrote in her diary she met Mollie and her husband in Paris, went to parties together and said "it was so delicious seeing her again".

She used to be, always, in the limelight, until she had to share it with Diana.

[@SusanJamiesonKennedy]

[@Bandomeme]

Nonsense. The limelight is fixed on the Queen. The others were always lesser figures.

[@wjcj1566]

Diana is melancholic woman w/ depression brought by her childhood long before she married the royal family. How she NEVER knew about Charles & Camilla is ridiculous, bec it had been an open secret the whole UK knew about it. Not to mention that Diana's older sister dated Charles. We can all feel sorry for Diana's plight & sad marriage, but she's just like Meghan Markle. She married into the royalty for the sake of royalty, but hated its tradition & obligations.

[@paullangton-rogers2390]

Hardly. The Queen Mother was adored by the UK. And she was already quite frail and a back figure by the time Diana arrived on the scene, there was no limelight rivalry. It's more likely the Queen Mother (a commoner herself) just thought damn pull yourself together Diana, you're a Princess and you have a Royal duty and role now, you can't act like a normal person anymore. If you can't handle what's expected of you, you shouldn't have married into this institution. And you definitely don't complain in public about it.

[@Bandomeme]

@@paullangton-rogers2390 exactly. The Queen Mother herself married a man who was never expected to succeed to the throne. Suddenly his elder brother abdicated and she and her family had to take on far more onerous roles than they had expected. She supported her husband through thick and thin, whether she wanted to or not, and her country through a long world war, and here’s Diana throwing tantrums in public and whining to anyone that would listen about the problems of her position. The QM didn’t worry about the limelight. She was 90 years old when Diana was carrying on, and her place in the limelight and the British public’s hearts was secure.

The way I understood it, Queen Mum did not welcome Edward back to UK because his abdication put such enormous strain on his brother. That burden arguably shortened her husband's life. This video prefers to claim it was because she feared Edward's past popularity.

I remember a strange newspaper story that said Charles walked out to his Land Rover where the crowds were watching. A window opened and Diana stuck her head out and yelled. "Don t you do this. Don't you do this to me." No one knew what she was referring to. Charles looked up and heard her and then drove off. In view of what we now know, I think he was going to see Camilla and Diana never wanted him to go.
