Yes they really have - a hard working but quiet couple. Im sure the Queen is very grateful for their unwavering and constant support even now as they get older. The couple never imagined this would be their life but they have embraced it and got on with the task in hand.

That is right. Richard was a trained architect, and was certainly not expecting to spend his life as a minor royal working to support the Queen. What is commendable is the way R&B have gone about carrying out their engagements, in support of the Crown, with grace and elan.
 
I have to admit I like all of HM's cousins (with one notable exception). R and B are really stalwart supporters and to be honest, saving Ill health I believe they will continue at the very least until they see the new king safely crowned.
