I have been wanting to post this for a while now. After hearing his nephew blathering on about being trapped etc in royal life, I look at how the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Edward and Sophie have grown, relaxed, thrived. There have been blunders along the way, but they both picked up the baton of service handed to them and kept putting one foot in front of the other. No matter how one feels about the role of the monarchy in the here and now, you cannot say they look trapped or miserable.

Beautifully said @Lake Effect and totally agree :heart::flowers:. In addition I think they have both aged beautifully and are more attractive than ever.

Coming to this thread and reading about them, along with enjoying their pictures, is a soothing antidote to being battered by news of the no class American based clatterers who are exact opposites.

It’s a special treat when we see photos documenting the love shared between them and other members of the Royal Family.

Right? These two are such a great palate cleanser after the shenanigans of the California-based pair.
