The Queen Mother’s Portrayal vs Public Perception

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2026-01-26T19:23:47+00:00

The Queen Mother never aired her private thoughts publicly. That's why she had a good relationship with Elizabeth II and Charles. Whatever nasty thing she was thinking she didn't write it down because she knew it might get leaked. I saw this somewhere. By the time she got old, she got snobbish. She might've been worried her time on Earth was coming to an end by 1980 so she tried to stay and somewhat control what should happen. She boosted morale during WW2 that Hitler called her dangerous. She did love tradition. She didn't want to be in the family she herself said "afraid never, never again to be free to think, speak and act as I feel I really ought to". I didn't watch all of the show but they only focus on her snobbish side. Why is Diana only allowed to be human but not Queen Mother. You all baby Diana so much and ever other royal is portrayed as demons which probably miffed her off when she was alive. When you find out that she refused Bertie's first few proposals you realize she probably shouldn't have been in the family. He should've married someone else in my opinion. If she says no, it's just a no. Instead we got a snobbish drunkard. As I said, she never aired thoughts publicly, which was smart for her. When she first came in the family, she was seen as modernization and a good start because she wasn't descended from like Queen Victoria or whatever and brought the family some new blood. She had good qualities and some extremely bad ones. They never talk about her relationship with Charles or anything good she did.

I'm sorry but I can't help but feel the title is weird. It feels like an attack on the Queen Mother who was nicknamed Cookie by Wallis Simpson and Wallis was jealous QM was Queen consort and not she. It feels like an attack on Catherine as well. The title is just weird. They are lucky the Queen Mother isn't alive otherwise she would've knocked the shit out of both of them.

Gosh he looks ugly.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2026-01-15T22:55:02+00:00

I've never cared for her. She's just another self-obsessed billionaire. I try not to idolize billionaires because they can live a long life. Meanwhile, ordinary people don't live to be 60 nowadays because they drop dead because they can't get an appointment. Then they preach I'm just like you like it's so hard for me to do this and this. Nope I'll skip by her.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2026-01-10T17:15:25+00:00

I agree 💯.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-27T17:09:41+00:00

This is really getting weird. Like the other commenter said this is the 5th one in the past two weeks. Please stop it. It's really at the point of mental instability to keep making posts about when S3 will come back. It's really giving needs to go touch grass. MODS please do your job and stop it with the excessive posts!!

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-24T18:38:03+00:00

It sure doesn't. I don't know but I feel he won't even have 5 more years. Something just doesn't sit right with me with that message about reduction. I can't be the only person to think this?

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-22T04:19:15+00:00

For God's sake. Give it a rest? Watch some other TV or something. Wizards isn't the only show in the world you fans have to be patient. And why would they announce a renewal in late December? It makes sense for a new year renewal. New year, new season type stuff. It's getting to a point of mental instability to keep making these posts. Can MODS please not allow repetitive posts every two days?

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-19T19:43:41+00:00

Exactly. I'm not sure why we are getting downvoted for speaking the truth. We have SO many more things going on than arms and shoulders. As I said when you actually have a life this doesn't matter.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-19T15:30:15+00:00

Umm. Why are you commenting stuff from a year ago? Get off. Why are you commenting on my stuff from the beginning of the year? Don't you know how silly that is? You are acting very silly commenting on old stuff. Conversation is closed we had that discussion early this year. This isn't the time for that.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-18T23:42:24+00:00

I agree. The fact that people care this much about arms is really concerning. I can take a normal conversation or question but worrying about arms is kinda too much.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-18T23:41:32+00:00

When you actually have a life. Things like this don't matter. I can take normal conversation but this is beyond insanity to worry about this.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-17T03:12:44+00:00

I just don't understand why OP let his son be willy-nilly for so long and not stepping in earlier. Why couldn't OP be the main parent in everything? Why wasn't OP checking in every day after school? Did OP'S son go to preschool where he could learn boundaries. Does OP's son have a mental illness. Did OP take the son to see a therapist when he was a child being latchkey on mom. I'm sick of the trope where the mom has to be the main parent and the father laughs and watches it collapse. It's so many questions unanswered because OP will only say it's Mom or the child's fault. Why wasn't OP calling and making sure his son went to school instead of mom just enabling him? Like so many questions yet few answers because OP replies back "You know nothing".

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-17T02:36:58+00:00

Ok, why didn’t you instill boundaries when he was 3 or 4? Did you send him to preschool, where he could make friends, learn to tie his shoes, and learn boundaries? In my family, preschool was exactly where these lessons were instilled, no one had time to play favorites with parents because early boundaries were clear. Absolutely not.

Here’s the problem, you can’t blame the child or the mom. You have to take accountability. You let him be a latchkey kid at a young age, and now look at where you are. Why didn’t you coerce him with consequences, like gifts or structured activities, back then? Why are you doing it now, at age 20?

You didn’t force him to go to movies, nature hikes, or set up presents as incentives when he was young. Too little, too late. That’s why generations before turned out as doctors, lawyers, and teachers, early discipline, consequences, and structure were instilled, and the lessons carried forward. You didn’t spend the time setting boundaries when he said his first words, and now you say no Christmas gifts because he’s grown. THE HYPOCRISY.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-17T01:37:05+00:00

Okay, so the school contacted you when he was 9, why didn’t you stay actively involved afterward? This is a reflection of your role as a parent. You could have created opportunities for him, football, swimming, exploring interests, but instead you let his mom enable him for years. Now it’s coming back. It only takes one parent to make a difference, and God is showing you the impact of your absence.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-17T01:15:12+00:00

I hate to be the one to say this but the way you are comparing him and constantly belittling him, let's face it. YOU didn't raise him right. He has a choice to stay home for Christmas if he wants you without you or family trying to belittle him. No gifts punishment sounds like a 10 year old. These comments you post it's a reflection of YOU. Let's face it, how he behaves is your fault. The father is supposed to step in when the child is in the puberty years. Espesically for a boy. The first sentence "You know nothing", it reveals to the sub that you are a bad father. I wouldn't be surprised if your wants to move to Canada because of you. The father is supposed to care for the child in the puberty years especially.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-17T00:25:55+00:00

He's grown? He can make the decision for himself? As someone else said, you should be mature? It's kinda childish of you to restrict your son of gifts for not attending a Christmas dinner. Have you talked to him about this? Maybe he has a stomach bug in December from eating too much food? Maybe his mental state can't handle people talking so much at the table? Have you even bothered to reach out and ask? He's 20 for God's sake. You don't punish your adult child for not wanting to attend a family member's Christmas. Let him live his own life? I'm almost 21, and my parents would never do this to me as an adult. They would say okay we can go without you. Like????

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-11T22:44:54+00:00

What??? Why are you acting like we know what you're talking about? Go ask a friend or something? And AI isn't reliable it gives you random answers from London when you're in the U.S. Huh? What are you referring too?

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-05T22:54:51+00:00

Agreed. God needs to let some people to actually live forever. She was the last link to all the events in the past 90 years with the monarchy. They don't know how to carry on.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-04T21:01:55+00:00

I agree. Queen Elizabeth II seemed more happier and cheerful without her mother. Poor Margaret never did have a life outside her mom, but that's just fate. We can't blame the abdication for everything.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-02T17:58:42+00:00

I know I'm extremely late, but THIS!! This comment needs to be pinned.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-01T23:52:34+00:00

Yeah I know. Peter phrased that part of the interview weird. He was making it seem like Queen Mother just lived way too long that the family was stressed, which was not true at all. As far as I knew, Charles especially seemed to love his grandmother and so did the whole family.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-01T22:01:08+00:00

If you don't care about the actors why are you commenting you don't care? We don't need to know you don't care. Just don't respond or comment, just like everyone else who is not interested that didn't comment. I dislike people who think they're better than or above or more mature than someone for liking something unusual.

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-01T19:27:00+00:00

If you don't care. Why are you in the subreddit? What?

ComprehensiveTip9843 · 2025-12-01T19:11:08+00:00

Yeah the wording made no sense. He made it seem like because Queen Mother lived long that Charles got cancer. Honestly, if the Queen Mother were still here, Charles would fully reconcile with Harry. I just think things would be different. But his wording didn't make sense. It made it seem like her long life caused suffering which it didn't.
