"Now people like sensationalism and tears, gorgeous performances. I'm not good at this, never good at it. I'm used to hiding my feelings, and the silly thing is that I always thought that's what the people wanted to see in their queen. Don't make a fuss, don't put the joys and sorrows on your face, responsibility first, personal second. That's the philosophy I've been indoctrinated with since I was a kid, and that's all I know. ”
In the film "Queen", the most classic line is this, which profoundly expresses the inner voice of the Queen of England, and at the same time lets the world see the queen's embarrassment.
Looking back at the past few decades of the Queen of England, her every day seems to be involuntary, presumably this is the helplessness of the monarch: responsibility first, personal second.
Because of this, the identity of the queen is awkward at many times, especially when facing her own family affairs, the official handling is accused of being ruthless, and the handling is warm and is accused of fainting.
Diana and Camilla were both daughters-in-law of the Queen, and, in terms of their existence, the Queen was clearly more inclined to Diana.
But what she did not expect was that in the face of Diana's death, the queen took out her due kingly style, believing that Diana was no longer a member of the royal family, so she could not use the royal power to hold any state funeral.
At that time, Diana died tragically in a foreign country, has not been responsible, but also wandered away from Diana Charles came forward and asked to personally take the body back to China and prepare for her funeral.
However, the queen felt that it was inappropriate, in fact, it was not wrong to interpret this idea from an official point of view.
Diana had long since divorced Charles, was no longer a member of the royal family, and everything about her was brought to an end with the royal family at the moment of divorce.
In such a situation, the royal inaction seems reasonable, the queen shows that she is the queen, and the attitude that is not related to Diana's personal events is obviously in line with her psychology and power as king.
However, what the queen did not expect was that her disapproval of her son had become a reason for being turned against by the outside world, and all kinds of voices came to the face, including cold-blooded, indifferent, and ruthless voices.
Thinking back to Diana's time in the royal family, the Queen may have really done something wrong.
In particular, the extramarital affair between the son and Camilla, in the case of maintaining it for many years, she, as a mother and queen, has never been able to use the strength of the queen to suppress and stop.
In a way, the queen did "protect the calves". Because she once said that not wanting to overly interfere with Charles's infidelity just felt deeply ashamed of his lack of growth.
However, such a queen is obviously unfair to Diana, whether from the perspective of the royal family's face or the maintenance of her daughter-in-law, an "outsider", she has gone too far.
What's more, Diana has done a lot of things in the royal family and contributed a lot to the improvement of the image of the entire royal family. In addition to her own willingness, such efforts are naturally for the development of the royal family.
But the queen once remembered such a Diana with a voice like "she was too red".
The daughter-in-law is too red, and the image and strength of the queen will be weakened, is this understood?
So? Is Diana destined to become the one who was sacrificed by the royal family, destined to become a loner who is alone against the entire royal family? This is obviously the queen's selfishness again.
In such a situation, the queen only wanted to draw a clear line with Diana, and did not even think about the fact that William and Harry were born to Diana, and asked Charles not to interfere in her funeral.
Such a queen, scolded cold-blooded, is probably what she deserves.
After all, her behavior that originally thought that responsibility came first and herself second was really not thorough enough.
When the incident is directed at herself, against her son, she will obviously transcend the reality of "her own second", and when the incident has nothing to do with the royal family, she will take out the "responsibility first" to act, who can really accept this double standard?
Now, Camilla has become the queen's daughter-in-law, and the queen is also old, and she has previously made a strong statement that camilla will not be allowed to enter the royal family, and she who does not accept Camilla seems to have become a different image.
Diana's crown and jewels have appeared on Camilla many times, and this fact may have made countless people's hearts heavy. But out of the psychology of business, people can only accept it silently.
And it wasn't until the beginning of the new year that the Queen came forward and announced: I hope that when Charles becomes king, Camilla can have the title of queen.
How many people's inner persistence and resistance is this? Although the queen is old, does not even care about the public opinion of the outside world? Is it also possible for her to plan for the future of the royal family?
No wonder the outside world has once again sounded the saying that "the queen is dim".
She herself pushed Camilla out of the royal family, thus creating the tragedy of Diana and Charles, and in the end, she stepped on Diana's bones and pushed Camilla to the position of "queen".
This practice still comes from the inner "selfishness" of a mother of the queen.
Because she saw the pity of her son, she could not get the love of her mother and the warmth of her family since she was a child, she could not have her own love when she grew up, she was spurned by the world, and she still could not take the throne when she was old...
For an old mother, the queen never let go of her identity as "mother".
Her so-called "responsibility first" is actually a choice after weighing to some extent, as long as it does not immediately embarrass the royal family, she can take out warmth to silently resolve.
In the final analysis, the queen is just a big patriarch of the royal family, and what responsibility and image are just the result of weighing the pros and cons: stabilizing the voice of the outside world, quietly softening the sharp angle of the royal family, and then seeking appropriate income for herself and her family.
From such an angle, we seem to be able to see that the queen is not "cold-blooded" nor "dim-witted".
You think, Diana is no longer her own person, she does not have to do anything about it, as long as it is handled step by step according to the standards of acquaintances. Although in the end she failed to do so, that was her original idea.
Today, Camilla is her daughter-in-law, a fact that cannot be changed now, and may not be changed again in her lifetime.
Under such circumstances, the queen can only comfort her son with the feelings of a mother: I will still make the greatest sacrifice for you.
As a result, even if Camilla is not welcomed by the queen, she will no longer insist on not accepting her facts.
Against his will, he promised Camilla the throne of the queen, which was the greatest gesture of favor to his son.
Almost all women agree with the fact that after becoming a mother, there are more handles in the world.
In fact, the queen is the same, Charles is her son, when the son's marriage goes wrong, he is no matter how wrong, still can not keep him impartial.
Just like Camilla no matter how bad it is, but because she is loved by her son, she can only recognize and accept. If the Queen is allowed to have a Truth or Dare, I am afraid that she will only want to say: I can't do it!
