I think the posting of this picture borders on voyerism (voyeur: someone who enjoys watching other people's private behaviour or suffering) and is almost indecent.The Watcher said:Also a picture of today, a sad Queen Beatrix.

You are so right.~*~Humera~*~ said:I remember when Princess Diana died, so many Britons crticized the Queen for her lack of emotion. Most humans, no matter what station in life they belong to, like to see a show of feeling now and then. Something that betrays a sense of humanity and maybe even frailty. Thats what most people found so endearing about Princess Diana.
Not that anyone expects the British royals to weep uncontrollably in public.
i agree!Vicomtesse said:You are so right.
No one wants to see Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles or Princess Anne crying all the time at every event. But when something truly affects them to see them shed even a few tears makes them more real and more human.
Like at the Remembrance Day ceremonies Queen Elizabeth always looks emotional. If she can be that emotional for war veterans even if they are important why couldn't she be a little bit emotional for her ex daughter in law who was also the mother of the Queen's grandchildren?
No one thinks that Queen Beatrix is not a good queen because there are pictures of her crying or upset at her mom's funeral or when her father's coffin was brought to her home. Everyone probably feels more sad for the queen and thinks she's a good queen still.
so those who show their emotions aren't "noble" as you say?HMQueenElizabethII said:I know that Queen Beatrix is a good Queen but your reason that she is a good Queen because she cried at her mother's funeral.It is not reason to show that she is a good Queen,Queen Beatrix is still a good Queen now by another reasons not the reason you say.
And i think The Queen also looked sad at Princess Diana.Did she smile or laugh when Princess Diana died?Not always show our emotion to people.She keeps in her heart not show in public.If she always show emotional, how will we think?We will think that she is normal,and very easy to cry.No!The noble never show their emotion very clearly,although they are sad, they never show their emotion so much.
I see what you're saying and Im sure no one was comparing Queen Beatrix to Queen Elizabeth. They're both different people. The only thing where you can compare the two is in terms of protocol and modes of behaviour, which seem to be stricter in the British royal family.HMQueenElizabethII said:I do not mean they cry they are not noble.I mean that they do not show their cry so much in public.And everybody are different.Elizabeth is Elizabeth and Beatrix,why should you compare them?
oh thats okay.HMQueenElizabethII said:Ok, sorry Humera.Because i thought you are talking bad about Queen Elizabeth II.Maybe Queen Elizabeth should share a little of her emotion for Diana.
You should reread my post again CAREFULLY.HMQueenElizabethII said:I know that Queen Beatrix is a good Queen but your reason that she is a good Queen because she cried at her mother's funeral.It is not reason to show that she is a good Queen,Queen Beatrix is still a good Queen now by another reasons not the reason you say.
