This made me quite teary - but smile too

And didn’t she do well?

She did indeed
Duty first and foremost, always.

Of course nobody knew at the time that the baby would one day be queen, let alone that she would have such a long and successful reign.

When they play repeats of her accession speech, the words that get me are ‘whether it be long or short’ .
I hope King Charles will also have a long reign 👑

I loved the Queen Mother, The Queen, Princess Diana and now Prince William and the beautiful Princess Catherine. I was brought up to admire the Royal Family. My opinion changed when Harry married Meghan, I think he was rebelling against the family and the institution, and look what's happened since. I still believe in the monarchy because I think it sets us apart from the rest of the world, and it brings in millions in tourism, but I'm not that interested in them any more, too many scandals.

The Queen Mother was not very lovable.

There was much spoken a against the Queen mother, Against Diana when her recordings of her affairs were made public

Is this - 100 years since our much loved late Queen’s birth, the time to bring Diana into it yet again ?
