The author has a complicated sexual identity history of her own Lady Colin Campbell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now I get the point, it worked out the old theory of Freud, via her weak point she tries to invent more about the others.The author has a complicated sexual identity history of her own Lady Colin Campbell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Part of me doesn't want to even acknowledge this 'story', but it's being given significant prominence by the Daily Mail so is likely to become a source of some debate. A new book is apparently coming out which claims that the Queen Mother was actually born to the Bowes Lyons' French cook. I'd not take this one with a pinch of salt, rather a couple of shovel fulls:
Queen Mother: Fury over book's claim that her and her brother were born to family's French cook | Mail Online
I suspect that the Queen Mother hid certain things she deemed improper for people to know about her. There seems to be a move afoot to make her a saint of some sort. She wasn't.
Let's also not forget that this woman's main source with all of this is the Duke of Windsor. Now, setting aside the doubts some people have as to whether she ever met him and Wallis at all, does anyone expect the former Edward VIII to say anything positive about the Queen Mother? Given all the history and bad blood on both sides during that saga, I wouldn't put it past him to make up the most embarrassing and hurtful stories he possibly could.
She's taken a bunch of rumours, that she knows won't/can't be challenged by the people involved, and put them in a book that she knows will receive lots of press. It's a pretty low way of improving one's 'reduced circumstances'.
She's been defending her stories by saying that she got confirmation on many of them from the Duke of Windsor. His opinion on the Queen Mother is well known. I wouldn't believe a word out of his mouth.
The DM story says that she's had to move to a flat in a not so posh part of London. The 'place in France' doesn't mean much. Hundreds of thousands of Brits have places in France. Bought in the right part of France you can get an old farmhouse very reasonably.
Actually, the father's name was not James, it was Jacob, or Israel as he was also known.

Erm . . . Aristocratic in that she was married to, and divorced by, Lord Colin Campbell within a matter or 14 months or so.. . . . A woman with a difficult childhood that made her strong - and insightful. She sees behind the curtain - having been forced to live behind the curtain herself. Aristocratic in her own right.
. . . . In Georgia's case, this has led to repeated accusations of snobbery, which she icily denies. She did, she says, initially revert to her maiden name, until she heard rumours that she had been forced to give up her title.
'Now nothing will ever get me to give it up,' she says. 'If I marry 27,000 times, I will keep this crummy little name I loathe.' With that, she rises and leaves for her small flat on the edge of Belgravia.
What do you really think? The Queen Mother born of surrogacy? With eight elder siblings the question is why not how!I'd be interested in a real conversation about why this must be untrue, or how well Campbell's evidence for it stands up. Is it all hearsay - or does the hearsay have credibility?
The original, post from Excalibur, sounds, very anti-semetic.
