Many of them were praiseworthy, and when they do their jobs they can make a big difference. Queen Victoria was mocked as a puritanical prude, but look what she did with the British Empire and its culture. Even in a Constitutional monarchy the person on the throne could make a big difference.shoprathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265612188236394307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-78033224309204749192008-07-16T15:48:00.000-04:002008-07-16T15:48:00.000-04:00The modern press has gotten very ugly.The modern press has gotten very ugly.benninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883327259794768568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-47447581186490070502008-07-16T10:11:00.000-04:002008-07-16T10:11:00.000-04:00That was quite interesting as I love history but h...That was quite interesting as I love history but haven't really read much about the Windsors.<BR/><BR/>I think it's very cruel of the press to point out that they are "horse-faced". It's not like people get to pick out what they're going to look like before they are born. This society is far too looks conscious! Far more stock should be put in a person's character instead of a person's looks.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540710405153666843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-27931878366834980892008-07-16T10:00:00.000-04:002008-07-16T10:00:00.000-04:00A woman of real substance, dignity, devotion. ..wh...A woman of real substance, dignity, devotion. ..where are those women Benning?..nice post!WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-70195253041664325862008-07-16T08:06:00.000-04:002008-07-16T08:06:00.000-04:00Just look at Georges V & VI.

The Saxe Coburg Hohenzollern Battenberg aka Mountbatten Windsor women were handsome but the men all seemed to be chinless wonders. Maybe it's because a long face and small chin suits females but not males.Jouberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970872086435575755noreply@blogger.com
