Queen of the world

Zara Phillips does not live independently, she lives on her mothers estate , she has done quite well in show jumping but her horses are from the Queens stud farm. She gets on the balcony for all occasions . So realy no different to her cousins

They have the best PR team ,personally I find it distateful that anyone would consider themselves to be "the queen of the world" with all the privilege that entails when the world is a hellhole for millions .Maybe Lizzie would like to house some of the homeless and feed the poor ? NO? They are so far beneath her in her perception she doesn't know they exist.Its a mediaeval concept in the 21st century and it should be binned.As soon as Lizzie dies ,even I wouldn't chuck an old woman out of her house....oh wait,didn't she do just that to give the house to her grandson?

I agree wholeheartedly Paddyann but what's that about her grandsons house? I haven't heard that.

Paddyann who is the woman the queen evicted?

I’ve not seen the programme, so may be missing something here, but the queen is not the “queen of the world” as far as my general knowledge goes!

Anniebach Lots of people live with their parents and the fact it's her mother's land just makes her mum the landlord.

She receives no title with land or income attached as has no claim on the sovereign grant. Apart from renting/owning a house on ehr mother's land, she's the same as everyone else.

Does she consider herself "Queen of the world" ? Paddyann Has she tried to impose her rule and sovereignty over the whole globe, or is she "just" respected for her experience and discretion? Chapter and verse, please.

She is the head of state of an important country, with links through the Commonwealth to a lot of other countries., so she is a world figure The Commonwealth these days has grown up, it isn't a child taking orders from Mummy.

I doubt very much that the Queen chose the title for the programme.

DIL, Andrews daughters have no claim on the sovereign grant , the only difference is Andrews daughters have a title.

Zara married in Scotland which was sensible as the Windsor move there for the summer, there was police protection on the royal mile and at the church . Yes she lives on her mothers estate which was bought by queenie.

Andrew seems to find dropping from 2nd in line to the throne to 7th difficult, his problem . The carriage ride around Windsor should be cancelled,

Your comment is what my late dear mother would have called 'common'.

not fair. snobbish I think.

I await Paddyann to give the name of the woman queenie evicted .

Inverted snobbery is as prevalent as snobbery.

Was I the poster condemned as common/ snobbish ?

Our daughter lives in a bungalow on our estate.

Ooooh . Doesn't that sound grand?

Yes it does, and is Merlotgran.?.

Have you had an in depth conversation with HM to know that "the homeless and the poor are so far beneath her in her perception she doesn't know they exist", paddyann?
None of us know what she does behind the scenes, or what she thinks about things going on in the world.

Mapleleaf I do know she hasn't given one of her palaces to the homeless!

But has she given money and/or support to help provide places of their own? She doesn't publicise her giving, doers that automatically mean it doesn't exist, or just that she isn't saying?

If she did give a palace to the homeless, would they be grateful to have to heat it and keep it maintained?

Posted too soon.

She has no palaces to give away.

There are Middle Eastern speculators who built whole blocks in London as investments, which still stand empty - how many of those have been given to the homeless?

There's a lot of sense in royal offspring living in properties that already exist. Security and maintenance for a start. I did raise my eyebrows at the cost of renovating William and Kate's apartment in KP and Harry and Meghan are apparently going to move into the one vacated by the Gloucesters after extensive renovations. Security must surely be more cost effective with them all in the same place though.

Eugenie and whatever his name is are living in one of the KP 'cottages' so he's done alright. Who will provide the country pad, I wonder?

I agree it’s best they live in K.P. Windsor and St.James , saves on security. William doesn’t have a country estate, he has property in queenie’s privately owned Sandringham, again saves on security
