Bloomdido Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are people really saying that the parent's shouldn't be criticised because that was what people did at the time? I wonder how anything ever changed. The Kennedys hid away one of their children after a failed lobotomy. Rosemary Kennedy lived in an institution until her death in 2006.

denlin Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 That's made me laugh now! But I know what you mean, she's like everyone's mother/grandmother. I can't remember a time without her being around. Although the Queen Mother was the same, and we soon forgot all about her didn't we? The only person we'll never be allowed to forget is that drama queen, Diana. Meanwhile, in other news - I knew that blasted pageant would be the finish of one of em ... Philip's in the hossie! Is that because she killed herself for effect?:hihi::hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how anything ever changed.I think what people are saying is rather that you can't blame the Queen for something that her maternal uncle did. At a time when it was the accepted advice of the medical profession and when she herself was only a child. I'm not saying the Queen Mother shouldn't have sent someone to visit her nieces after their mother died, but as they hardly know this cousin, it might be a bit awkward at this late stage? I remember it was frowned upon when I was little, to try keep a child with learning disabilities at home. Or a person who was mentally ill was usually 'sent away'. I think it was also often the only solution because there was no help for people trying to cope with relative's physical and mental conditions?

I was being facetious because you called her a drama queen, I didn't find her death in the least bit funny and nor did I think she was a drama queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and still do think she was a drama queen, and if she had bothered to fasten her seat belt that night, she'd still be here, and probably even more excessive now than she was then.

Harleyman Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Diana was the one bright spark during that period of the monarchy. She was cycnically used to produce an heir then cast off in quick order. The fact that she stole the limelight from the rest of them must have had them howling at the moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Considering the crap she took from the Simpsons Royals she had every right to be. That's true, she finds her husband and father to her two young sons never wanted to marry her and was hankering after some old tart all through their marriage. She was a commoner too so how come he could marry her but not Camilla. Seems to happen a lot in the wonderful world of Windsor. Edward the VIII and Princess Margaret spring to mind. One abdicated and the other was a slush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a drama queen and a very manipulative one at that. Fortunately for her, she was born in a different era to the Queen's cousins, otherwise she may have found herself languishing with them.
