Would you change places with the Queen if you could?

Question

What a boring life, being waited on hand and foot, not having to think what to wear,eat,do etc. i wouldn't want to change places that's for sure.

Answer 1

Not a chance. Not being able to choose what to wear on a whim, having to watch everything you say and do in case you make the headlines the next morning. Having to meet the msot boring people in the world and smile while they bore you with whatever it is they do.

Having to go off on business trips virtually every day of the year. Having your famil's business constantly debated in the world's gutter press and having to keep your trap shut when you hear, read, watch about how you are a waste of space.

Most of all, being on several international death lists just for being born.

Answer 2

No that is a misconception she is not waited on hand and foot that is only the public image you see.

She works extremely hard and I would not like to have to change my clothes 6 times in one evening that is what she has to do at times on public engagements.

And her time is never her own. She is a self disciplined person and many of us ordinary folk would crack under the same regime and strain.

No it's the ordinary life for me thank you.

Answer 3

Definitely I am waiting for a cornea transplant
if I was the Queen I would not have to wait.
Also the Queen will not have to go into an old folk's nursing home, she will die in comfort with the best of Doctors and servant granting her every wish. O Doctor I have a slight pain in my little toe bring the morphia at once.( at once do you hear man.)I mean NOW yes mam right away mam, The bags full man.

Answer 4

She works very hard. She makes a lot of speeches. She has to watch her public image and the image of the other royals to prevent scandal. She rarely gets to do the things she'd like to, I am sure. She's always having to travel and shake hands and make small talk with strangers.

No, I wouldn't want that.

Answer 5

Maybe for a week, but permanently, no. Sure, it would be great to live the privileged part of her life, but losing the many freedoms that we take for granted, combined with being under a microscope by the media would be difficult for most people to adjust to. It really has to be a life that you have to be born into, in order to truly be able to handle it. Just as we don't know what it truly means to be her, she doesn't know what it truly means to be us.

Answer 6

No way! She has a total lack of privacy, her itinerary is planned for years in advance, she can't go anywhere without a bodyguard, she has cameras shoved in her face constantly, and she can't even run out to do a bit of shopping.

And she has a constant never-ending work schedule that never ceases.

Answer 7

I wouldn't change places with her either. That Lady has unremittingly done her duty as monarch for more than fifty years. She is eighty and every day serves her people and her country with enormous fortitude, dignity and resolution. I couldn't do that for a month never mind a life time.

Answer 8

If the Queen has a boring life - then I Want to be Boring... could you imagine it ...ahhhh!! pure Heaven.... jeeeevess get the Jet reved up we are off to the Bahamas....

Answer 9

I think she has to think a lot. she is pretty much in comand. But I would not want the life of having to hide from the photograpers. I am not the kind of person that can take a lot of harassment well.

Answer 10

No way. I guess being rich would be good - but you aren't free to chill out & do your oen thing - ever. Just imagine always having to have a bodyguard everywhere you go, always having to wave, always having to look your best when you go out, always having to wear a hat.
