What a bubble these people live in especially that arrogant useless Prince Andrew and his pampered daughters .
However if one lives in the UK the Queen is in fact your Queen in as much as she is the Queen .

You weren't born here and it's a misfortune to live here? your passport enables you to leave, please feel free to do so.

Because the younger royals especially Harry are so much more public friendly .
Anne is arrogant Edward colourless .
Most people are much more inclined to the hail fellow well met Harry doing good deeds and William the Helicopter ambulance pilot married to the beautiful and totally unobjectionable Kate .
Moreover the Queen is more human and likeable in grandma mode rather that the rather distant mother that she was to her own children .
Why they had air miles Andy on mouthing inanities was really the only downside -I suppose they gave him a script.

Re: Prince Harry on Our Queen at Ninety.
I did watch it, and enjoyed most, but what put me off by the last ten minutes were the young Royals constantly saying 'I think...' Kate was the worst offender, saying it twice in one sentence at one point!It was nice seeing her Maj in relaxed mode. She does have a lovely smile and I for one am proud of her.
One of Andy's girls tended to talk in that 'vocal fry' tone much preferred by a lot of females. Yes, could have done without Arrogant Andy. I too was hoping to see Anne, but not really Edward. Bit colourless, that one. ETA. Oops sorry Muddy, realise now you described him in that way, but it's the way I see him too.
Charles's attempt at humour. To the Queen 'do you realise I've known you for 68 years?' Bless.

Yes I agree Jazzi. Ann seems to almost distance herself from the family, rarely seen or heard of nowadays. Is she still married even? It is donkeys years since I have seen them together in public. Doesn't he ever have to do any 'royal work' with her?
I agree about Edward too. He always has been the odd one out I think.
Like her or not, I think our Queen is pretty fantastic for her age.

Re: Prince Harry on Our Queen at Ninety.
Anne seems to keep a low profile however.In addition to working for her charities and regiments both at home and overseas, the Princess carries out up to three overseas tours each year for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in support of British interests overseas. She also carries out a very wide range of official duties and visits in the United Kingdom in support of regional authorities and local institutions.
In 2014 Her Royal Highness carried out over 528 engagements in the UK and overseas.
