. If she does give a royal party I am sure that HM Q Elizabeth II will not come, she never does.

Elizabeth thinks she is superior to other royals, that's why she won't lower herself to mix with them.

This is probably a really dumb question, but why does she think like that? I notice she never ever goes to weddings or parties or anything happening among the other Euro royal houses. It's sad.

It has a lot to do with the English mentality. They see themselves as different from other nations and therefore a superior race. There is the belief that all things English/British are somehow better and more important. This belief extends to the royal family. I've heard British royalists say that the Windsors are the only royalty in the world. Tell them that other countries have royal families and they come out with stupid statements like "Oh they're not real royality, they only have their titles because our queen allows them to use them." I heard another say thet the other royals do not have the "breeding" thet the windsors have. That last point could be true. The other royals are normal, sane people. That's something the disfunctunal Windsors are not. The Windsors have allowed themselves to think that they are superior to hide the fact that they are not the rightful royal family so they have let themselves believe that they are more important, and somehow above other royals. For someone with "breeding" Elizabeth ofeten shows the height of bad manners by not attending foreign royal events. [/b][/quote]
Queen Elizabeth II doesn’t often attend foreign royal events because the foreign department doesn’t let her go. It is an unwritten tradition that the Queen never attends foreign funerals or weddings and other events. Some people think it’s old fashioned snobbery and perhaps it is. The Queen is also very rarely invited directly. It has nothing to do with the fact the Queen thinks she is superior to other royals, if she was I don’t think she would be good friends with fellow royals such as the Queen of Norway, the King of Spain, the Ex-King and Queen of Greece, and Grand-Duke Jean of Luxembourg.
