I think the Queen enjoyed my book on her father, George VI.
Now, I think perhaps I got it wrong over Prince Philip. I think he loves pretty women, and he likes flirting, but I'm not sure how important actual sex is to him, put it that way.
But how can one criticise someone else's mother? One shouldn't, really... particularly as my first marriage failed.
The more unpopular politicians are, the better people think it is to have a monarchy.
The links between the British and the Dutch royal families are strong - Queen Beatrix's grandmother, Queen Wilhelmina, was evacuated to Britain during the Second World War. But that doesn't mean they share the same attitudes.
I do feel sorry for the Prince of Wales, waiting and waiting, while his mother looks better and better. She's not staying on because of any concern about his abilities as a king. The Queen simply feels she must do her duty, and she's never even contemplated abdication.
