As Tolstoy once wrote,” happy families are all alike; unhappy families are unhappy in their own way. ” Witnessing the funeral ceremonies after the death of Queen Elizabeth, we saw many signs of a royally dysfunctional family. For example:
King Charles’ facial redness suggests some type of medical problem. The most common cause of ruddiness is rosacea which can be triggered by sun exposure, heat, stress, alcohol, or medicines prescribed for blood pressure. Hopefully, it’s nothing more serious, but he doesn’t present a picture of vibrant health. .
Queen Consort Camilla’s face is wrinkled as a Slovenian peasant. Most 70 year old women who’ve led a cushy city life have smoother skin. Does she smoke too much? Go to sun tan parlors? It’s a puzzle. Maybe it’s stress. If her husband is a billionaire, seems like she could easily afford some type of facial treatment like dermabrasion or retinol. If she lives as long as Queen Elizabeth, she’s going look like a scary old hag unless she gets some help. Hopefully, by then, she’ll have ditched the brassy yellow hair.
Princess Anne wearing a military uniform when she’s never actually served in the military. The media raved that she looked like a powerful woman in her uniform.. Personally, I thought she resembled a World War II comic book character . Let’s face it, pulchritude is not her long suit. Dressing like a man didn’t do much for her looks..
Prince Andrew, accused sex addict and friend of notorious sex offender Epstein. His Mom spent 16 million dollars settling a lawsuit claiming he solicited the services of an underage woman. He’s pretty well toast right now as far as the public is concerned, and from the expression on his face, I think he knows it. . Maybe he ought to start his own business, or head off to America..
Prince Harry looking totally disgusted the entire time.. First , he had to wear a morning coat like his disgraced uncle Andrew,. Then, His Dad maybe had a few Scotch whiskies that night and decided, hey, we’ll let Harry wear his uniform after all. Then, the next day, they changed their mind, and once again had him back in a dark suit . And Harry wouldn’t even sing “God Save The King.” He was probably thinking his Mom would be alive today if she hadn’t been messed over by the old man.
The ongoing feud between brothers, William and Harry. They kept their distance from one another, and you didn’t see much eye contact. Doesn’t look like they’ll get together over the holidays.
Young Prince George pinching his royal sister, hard enough to make her cry. Aggressive behavior in a 9 year old calls for some serious counseling. Why is little George so hostile? Kate and William better get this straightened out before he reaches puberty.
The turnout for the Queen’s funeral procession was impressive. You have to give her credit for putting up with a lot over the years, and keeping a stiff upper lip. I guess that’s what the English are known for. Now that she’s gone, you wonder how long the monarchy will last.
