They aren't, but the media wants you to believe they are.

That's what comes from having never worked a day in your life. You think she's ever been faced with the thought of walking 20 miles to a job site because she doesn't have a working car? Nope.

LOL, that's funny. She was working before she ever ascended to the throne. And she still works a full day today. At 92.

Who are those "2 troubled daughters"? I thought she had just Anne. The other 3 offspring being male.

It seems a few of the posters are saying she never worked a day in her life, led a soft, cushy life.

Go to Google and look her up. You will see what she has done in her life. Very active during WWII (I believe she actually did some spy work). She's a strong woman who has done a lot of good. At 92 I would hope her life is easier, tho it appears she still maintains a busy schedule.

Sadly, when she passes, her son Charles will take over and I seriously doubt he won't measure up at all.

She was a truck driver in the Motor Pool, and was trained as a mechanic.

You might have read a condensed version of her service? I'm pretty sure she did a whole lot more than you want to agree with. Maybe you just don't like her. Your prerogative.
