"It was her duty and destiny to be dull, to be as useful and undemonstrative as a postage stamp." Never heard Her Majesty described quite that way before ? #Royallygoodreads #royalbiography
GingerAntics Her Majesty is actually Queen Elizabeth II, being a style for the monarch. Princess Margaret would have been HRH (in this case her royal highness, but it can also be his royal highness). 6y
anhistorianabouttown @GingerAntics I know that 🙂 The author was explaining the differences in personality between the more steadfast HM and volatile HRH! 6y
GingerAntics Oh okay. I didn‘t understand that was actually a quote about her sister. Margret was definitely the more lively sister when they were younger. 6y
anhistorianabouttown I would say that is true for their entire lives haha! They both fulfilled very different purposes but I think it suited them each 😀 6y
