I imagine if she could have, she would have rather been some moderately well off country gentry than a queen, but God had other plans. For someone who was not born to be queen and only ruled by accident of history, she did a good job as far as anyone can tell. Any parent should know better than to criticize her for the actions of her children. Many of us have done far worse with far fewer challenges. In any case, good or bad, she is gone on to her reward now.

Seems like she was raised by some pretty good people. I watched the movie Darkest Hour recently about Winston Churchill and they portrayed her Father (the King) did not like Churchill at all as a person, but he was open minded enough to come to respect Churchill's ideals and backed him anyway...Not like the insane people today running our country and controlling the media that want nothing to do with working with the other side of the aisle to make the country better..
