Differing views on the Queen Mother


The official biography of the Queen Mother has just been published. It is based on her own letters and papers so should be quite revealing about what she was like and what she experienced as Queen during World War 2 in particular. More details can be found here, while a writer in the Guardian takes a more controversial view, considering her to be the "Queen of Unkindness". What do you think?

PS: The picture is from 1928, 5 years after her marriage to Albert, the Duke of York (he would become King George VI after his brother Edward's abdication in 1936)
