Even the Queen of England has her own insecurities. Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly vented about her disappointment over her childrens’ divorces. Talking about the subject matter was hard for her, according to the new biography about the royal family. “Outwardly stoical, as ever, the Queen was finding the divorce talks deeply upsetting,” Robert Hardman wrote in his book, “Queen of Our Times: The Life of Queen Elizabeth II,” (via People.) “Another former member of the Household recalls that, every now and then, there would be a glimpse of her despair.”
While the Queen hasn’t let her emotions come forward often, there were moments where some of her staffers saw just how much her childrens’ divorces upset her. “I said, ‘Ma’am, it seems to be happening everywhere. This is almost common practice,’” the former staffer recalled, adding, “But she just said, ‘Three out of four!’ in sheer sadness and exasperation. One shouldn’t underestimate the pain she’s been through.”
She’s not wrong from a factual standpoint. Three of her four children have gotten divorced. Prince Charles infamously divorced Princess Diana just before her tragic death and went on to marry Camilla Parker Bowles. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson famously got divorced in 1996, just four years after they got married. Her only daughter Princess Anne also got divorced from Captain Mark Phillips and eventually got remarried to Sir Timothy Laurence. Prince Edward is Queen Elizabeth’s only child who hasn’t been divorced and is currently married to Sophie, Countess of Essex.
