And why would she be amused?
Discreet personal behaviour
as befitting a Royal benefits both
the holder of the title and the public
served. She has herself been a paragon
of dedication to the office she holds as
head of state in a monarchic democracy
beloved by her people on that
Sceptered Isle with its pride in tradition
and huge affection for her guidance
as a symbol of vanished empire.
Fate, alas beyond her control has
frequently dropped by to shatter the
calm exterior exposing a family like
any other and like any other never
impervious to the emergence among
them of a viperous spirit of ill intent
spurning the values of family to indulge
in the contempt of lese majeste
abdicating the onerous duties that
accompany royalty in a fit of spite
so unbecoming the victim portrayed.
