... and for every actual complaint, there will be hundreds who were also bored out of their minds, eh ?

Stephen Fry called it "mind-numbingly tedious"

BBC creative director Alan Yentob says it is "fair to criticise" some aspects of the corporation's coverage of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

His comments come after more than 2,000 viewers complained to the BBC about its programming over the Jubilee weekend.

The BBC also drew ire from the press, which called coverage of Sunday's river pageant "inane" and "tedious".

"We will look at it," Mr Yentob said, "but I don't believe you can say in every aspect that this thing failed".

There be much worse coverage if she died and even more tedious, just because Charlie boy is a Prince don't mean he didn't want his wife to die. Funny how paparazzi was to blame after years of legal jargon and very expensive court fees paid for by the tax payers.

I remember reading (when the Queen Mum died) that she had been involved in planning her own funeral, and overseeing arrangements.

I thought that pretty weird - but then this is a very weird family LOL !

Shows what generations of inbreeding can do ITK.

Funny Post on that link ITK.This is just pure nonsense. She is a Wonderful Queen and how she arrived on earth should not matter to any of us. She has done a wonderful job and will continue to do so. We all have things in our past that were out of our control. I just can't understand why so many people try to pick apart the "Royals" every chance they get. They are people just like us - leave them alone!

It may not be as far fetched as it seems !

We already know - as a matter of fact - that TWO of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon relatives were so loopy that they were incarcerated for over 60 years.

Katherine Bowes-Lyon and Nerissa Jane Irene Bowes-Lyon were the daughters of the Honourable John Herbert Bowes-Lyon, the Queen-Mother's brother.
In 1941, at the ages of 22 and 15 respectively, the girls were locked away in the Royal Earlswood Hospital in Surrey. Both girls arrived unable to speak and had only reached the mental age of six; however, no one apparently attempted to train them.

Not only did the Royals never visit them but they attempted to have them eradicated from history - Burke's Peerage said both had died when they were in fact still alive !
(Prince John, the son of George V, who was an epileptic, was similarly hidden from public view. and died aged 13 alone in a house hidden away on the Sandringham estate).

Katherine and Nerissa also had three first cousins, who were also institutionalized: Idonea, Etheldreda, and Rosemary Fane.
Ironically, the Queen Mother was patron of Mencap, the Royal Society for mentally handicapped children and adults LOL !!!!!

If there were (at least) 2 loonies in the family - why not also a third ?

Enter - The Monster of Glamis ! (*) - blogs.smithsonianmag.com/history/2012/02/the-monster-of-glamis/
(*)Glamis Castle is the Bowes-Lyon family seat - Princess Margaret was born there).

Of course, the family now say its just a legend (well, they would, wouldn't they).

The story explains alot though ....

It explains why there is so much confusion as to when and where Elizabeth was born.
It explains why she had the French name Marguerite - her real mother's name ! - as one of her middle names.
It explains why she got so upset when referred to as "cookie" (and why she was given that name)
It explains why Elizabeth hated King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson so much.
It explains why she (and Lord Beaverbrook) conspired with the Archbishop of Canterbury (as revealed by Channel Four only last month) to "out" the King and usurp his throne.

And yet the public still think they are great without reading the past I wonder what King Will will do if he had mentally Challenged son ?

I hope he would behave with some dignity, and face the issue rather than hide it away, like the Kennedy Clan when faced with a similar problem -

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy

This story will make a awesome biopic, the Kennedy's went out there way to help her and did there best what was available at the time.

" From the formal, loveless life of prep school they go on to a public school. Eton and Harrow are the most famous and Prince William, the heir to the throne behind his father, Prince Charles, was sent to Eton. At these prep and public schools, the children either conform to the rules, regulations and thought control or they incur the wrath of the black gowns, the men in black. The ‘fagging’ system in which younger boys become slaves to the older ones has encouraged the desire to dominate and control others and introduced youngsters to the ‘joys’ of inflicting pain and torture on others.

A friend of mine who was determined not to be broken by the endless beatings he received from both teachers and older boys, was forced to lie in ice-cold baths in an attempt to break his spirit. It is from these schools, and the Oxford and Cambridge Universities, that the often deeply imbalanced people emerge who enter the positions of financial, political, military and royal power.

The psychopaths among them give the orders and those of broken spirit do as they are told without question, just as they have been trained to do. The lack of female company encourages homosexual activity and many of these people find it very difficult to relate to women. I’m not condemning homosexuality, by the way, everyone to their own as long as they don’t force it on anyone else. I’m just explaining what happens, that’s all. There are some strange goings on at such schools which are designed to affect the minds of the children involved. Sexual abuse is definitely part of that.

Tony Blair, the Brotherhood chosen one who became British Prime Minister on May 1st 1997, attended the public school called Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland, where one of his close friends was the school chaplain, the Very Reverend Ronald Selby Wright, a senior figure in the Church of Scotland. Selby Wright was later revealed to be a persistent paedophile abusing boys at Fettes and elsewhere. "

and so they should. Diana was possibly a mistake, being of far finer vintage than the lot she married but like many well bred fillies, went off the rails while galloping down the straight.

That's why gormless Prince Frederick of Denmark (another Sax Coburg/Battenberg half-wit) went to Tasmania to find his future Queen.

Even then one must be so careful even that far away or you could run into nutty right wing politician Erik Abetz who will be a government Minister soon who reveres his late Uncle Otto Abetz, Nazi gaultier in Paris in WW2 and responsible for shipping French Jews to Auschwitz.

Mind you they did give us the most handsome movie idol of the 20th Century, Errol Flynn, seducer of underage girls and Mexican boys but sadly not me.
