We watched it and really enjoyed it a lot. Very interesting dynamics indeed. Your purse comment cracked me up!
One thing that surprised me was how she gave birth. I just assumed she had sections but I guess not.
I got sold on the Queen when she invited the Beatles to the palace. I've never forgotten that!!From then on she's been A okay in my book lol

I love the real queen. She's gotten a bad rap, but she is one class act. If you read about her life you will find she is an extraordinary woman. She still, at well past 90 years old, works 40 hours a week and has worked 50 hours a week most of her life. Who of us could keep that up for 60+ years? During the war, as a young woman, she was an accomplished mechanic and rebuilt the engine on an ambulance! She has 1200 employees, but she feeds her own dogs. Quite an admirable lady and one of my heroines.

I read that she has filed the appropriate paperwork with parliament that she will retire/abdicate at age 95 and has left instructions on power transfer to Charles. It's all in place should she die or reach 95. Prince Phillip resigned his duties last year, I believe. She is an amazing, dignified, and respected individual. I think it is truly a testament of her dedication to her role and the monarchy that there has really never been a scandal about her or Phillip. Her children...yes....but not her. There will never be another like her, that's for sure.

There was a story just recently about the queen and her purse. One reason she carries a purse is so that her hands are not free and she will not be expected, or tempted, to shake hands. The story was commenting about how Megan Markle carried the wrong type of purse that left her hands free. If you'll notice, Kate almost always carries a type of clutch which does not leave her hands free.

Actually, that doesn't make full sense ... she usually has her purse over her arm, so that she has both hands free to use, as she wishes.
Another purse story ... when she switches it from left to right arm (or is it right to left?), her assistants know she needs help in freeing herself from whomever she is talking to at the time!!
