Queen Elizabeth, a long-deceased royal figure, was called "the most dangerous woman in Europe" by Hitler.
However, Hitler may not have imagined that the dangerous woman he considered to be the most wasteful woman in the eyes of the Queen, who had always spent a lot of money and would not let her say it.
This is true, as the queen's mother, as the queen of a country, Elizabeth's style is very well-placed: always surrounded by hordes of servants, dressed in high-class clothes, gorgeous jewelry.
In order to show his magnificence, even the crown of the royal family was privately withheld from his daughter. Anyway, no matter how angry the queen is, she can't fight with her mother.
The Queen Is an absolute horse racing enthusiast, and the Queen knows this, because she herself is one of them. Royals who don't know how to race horses, that's not qualified.
But the empress dowager was too qualified, and if she liked the horse, she would buy it.
You know, a good horse is worth a lot. Her stables were full of horses and couldn't fit in at all.
Seeing that her mother did not care about money like this, the queen was very troubled. But the empress dowager is a self-behaved look, and whenever her own bill comes and can't be paid, she will point to the queen next to her: give it to her.
As Empress Wang grew older, her spending power seemed to be constantly improving. Some British media have reported that when Empress Wang was 98 years old, she had received bank overdraft bills, which was as high as 4 million pounds!
How could the Queen be at peace with this? Therefore, it is not a problem to argue with your mother over the issue of spending money.
The old lady did not buy it, and very disapprovingly replied to her daughter: "Who do you think you are?" ”
Oh my God, this contempt and disdain, it's amazing.
But what can the queen do? She was laughed at by her mother, and her mouth was muttering: "Queen, I am the queen, Mommy!" ”
But what is the use of this, no matter what status, arguing with the mother, can never win.
But the image reminds us of a meme: George W. Bush was nagged at home by his mother, Barbara, who couldn't help but say, "Sitting in front of you is the president of the United States." ”
But what does Barbara say? "Then you are my son first and foremost!" Look at this momentum, European women really have a set. The so-called tiger mother, but that's it.
The old empress dowager raised her own daughter single-handedly, and the family was rich, how could she be subject to her status as queen? Therefore, the flower should still be spent, and the luxury should still be luxury.
This is no secret to the royal family, and horse racing manager Henry Hubert once joked about the queen: "Her defeat is about to squeeze the British treasury dry." ”
What about the Queen? Knowing that arguing can't win the mother, and it is not suitable for big trouble, simply write a small note to the mother: Mommy, stop it.
Fortunately, the empress dowager could no longer spend the queen's money, and she had left her some wealth. These queens have numbers in mind.
However, under the influence of the queen consort, her son Charles's momentum was not bad at all, which made her worry for a lifetime. Especially when it comes to spending money, it's pretty much the same.
In Philip and Elizabeth: A Portrait of a Marriage, author Gelles Brandt tells some lesser-known things about the royal family.
"The Queen thinks That Crown Prince Charles is difficult to get along with, he is very extravagant and wasteful, and it is unbelievably sad that the Queen does not like this, and the Royal Family is a cracked family."
Gilles was a former Labour MP and journalist and an old friend of Prince Philip.'s Therefore, he knows some things about the royal family more comprehensively.
As Gailes said in the book, the queen has always been a very frugal person, but Charles is just the opposite, always spending a lot of money, he likes to do parties, banquets, and spend a lot of money on it.
Not only that, but there were many servants in Charles's house, and it is said that there were more than 100 of them.
Whenever he had to go out to visit, travel or something, Charles would bring a large group of people.
The servants had more things, and Charles had to spend extra money to check in various items. For this reason, the queen was very unaccustomed to it, and more than once taught him not to be frugal.
You see, this is the child brought up by the empress dowager, for face, for hobbies, that is a paranoid love. Even if he is repeatedly criticized by his mother, he will not change his roots.
But then again, the queen can't win in the mother's quarrel, can't change the mother's waste, and naturally can't win in the son's place. After all, the son's personality has too much support from the empress dowager, or edification.
Fortunately, Charles is not as intrusive as the queen's grandmother, because he is very shrewd, he can make money, and he is also a good hand in financial management.
It can be seen from the accumulation of wealth that Charles is now a highly valuable member of the royal family.
Some people will ask, Charles is a real old crown prince, in addition to love to grow vegetables, what income? To put it this way is that you don't know Charles anymore.
First of all, Charles, as Prince of Wales, had his own territory.
For example, a large piece of farmland in the Cornwall region, about 1.44 million acres, all its output is owned by Charles.
According to the current identity, Charles is actually a real "charter public", the land is rented, the real estate is rented, and a lot of income will follow, and there is no need for him to do any work himself.
Secondly, we say that Charles loved to grow vegetables, which is famous and has an international reputation, the prince's organic vegetables, who does not buy it?
So, his personal organic food company still has some income, anyway, since 2003, the annual income of 1 million pounds, so far is not a small amount.
Also, it is said that Charles is still speculating in houses. When he has money, he will buy a low-priced property, and then when the price rises, he will throw it out. It is reported that Denver, Dez, and Warrington all have Charles's assets.
The most unexpected thing is that such a spending crown prince knows the way of open source very well.
Usually, he will receive a lot of gifts from all over the world. But these things are of no use to him, so he will sell unwanted gifts, a real costless business.
In this way, is Charles also earning a lot? According to Charles's personal financial figures, he is now a big coffee worth $400 million.
It seems that the queen is still worried, and after arguing with her mother for so many years, the old lady has left her a large inheritance.
And with the son? It is also not less angry, but who would have thought? While quietly achieving financial freedom, they also have a lot of personal assets. Presumably, this is the so-called fate of each person!
