I don't know about her personally but she gave thirty years of her life, made sacrifices that some of us wouldn't even dream of and all for...? If I were her, I'd at least wonder a little bit what it was all for. Almost her entire adult life has been geared toward this and now, she gets what? Peace and quiet obviously (though not a life out of the spotlight - people are always going to be interested in her) but has she honestly come this far and given this much for her country to get almost nothing in return and now fade into obscurity? If that is the case, fortune has short changed her in my opinion. Normally I'm not the judging kind, nor the kind to dismiss others' trials but she has sacrificed more than Albert (what has he seriously gone through that could or would cause more severe harm, other than losing his parents?) and as much as Stephanie (though what she sacrificed and how it was given was obviously incredibly traumatic for her - I'm reluctant to say more traumatic because there's no way to judge). In short, what I'm saying is, do I think that she and Stephanie are deserving of more than what some people here are predicting they'll get? Absolutely. Devoting your life to your country is a noble thing (and I'm not excluding Albert from that) but to say that they now get practically nothing for their good - no,
extraordinary - deeds and that that's the way it goes and they should just accept that is hardly fair in my opinion. This should not be a competition of who's the better princess or a soap opera where they are constantly fighting for position but I do think that to let Charlene take centre stage and - to be honest - get all the glory for what they have worked so hard for isn't fair. And that's not necessarily "the way it works". There should be room on the "stage" for more than one princess.
