Going back to PW and PC vs the Queen -I wonder if she was helped by not being born into the job?
From what I have read, there was always a sense among some in the RF that because of the PofW's personality and love interests, Elizabeth might become queen one day. But chances are those notions were kept from her. For her though, I think much of it might be personality. I recall Crawfie's account of her finding out she would be queen is that she took it in stride. She was 10 years old, and Margaret, age 6, is reported to have said "Poor you."
