Re: the Queen…a few years ago I read an article about the queen’s image/clothing choices. It claimed that Queen Elizabeth’s somewhat stodgy image is deliberate. Of course, I’m paraphrasing, but in effect, it quoted the queen as saying that there’s something inherently unkind and unapproachable about being very fashionable, and that a queen must never be seen as unkind. (Not that fashion-conscious royals Diana and Kate were/are viewed as unkind, but I still found the queen’s take on her sense of duty in that regard to be interesting.)
I’m outta here…going to walk away from the electronics to be with family… Happy, Hanukkah, Merry Christmas Eve, Happy Kwanzaa, and a hopeful post-solstice, everyone! Very much looking forward to the light of longer days ahead
