I think the Queen was an amazing human. If we were rolling dice for a Dungeons and Dragons character the Queen would have a charisma score of about 15 out of 10 points. She was a master of manipulation. Such people in public office are incredibly dangerous, but I think that danger was overcome by her humility and dedication to humanity as she saw it. Certainly the world would have been a grimmer and less compassionate place without her. If the world had to have another highly charismatic leader I'm glad it was Elisabeth; who not only modeled a personal fashion and work ethic that was amazing; she also worked really hard to bring people together and celebrate diversity. I'm so glad she was not another Hitler. Charles hasn't a hope of even beginning to live up to his mother. even though I respect his learning and early adoption of many environmental ethos. Maybe one of the kids will have the charisma to be better loved than Charles. Not holding my breath on this one tho. I think Elisabeth was on of those people you only get every several hundred years or so.
