ALTHOUGH I am a royalist, I think Brian Derbyshire had some good points in his letter about the life of luxury of the Queen Mother.
Also, at least, the Queen can grieve in peace in the knowledge that her mother was provided with the best medical treatment and care at all times, whereas my poor mother died in a tragic fall downstairs, because she was afraid of going into a nursing home and also lacked the support of a united family.
The Queen Mother indeed exceeded them all -- both in health and wealth.
