Queen Elizabeth II.
Riding at Balmoral.
We are alone. Silence. Balmoral Castle is far, on the background.
I would like to ask (but I would never ask):
1. If you were a commoner.....
2. Do you care about people's opinion and feelings towards you and your family?
3. Are you happy with your marriage and do you know the truth about Philip's rumored affairs and what are your feelings and so on?
4. What do you need more to be happy? What's happiness?
