Yes, its sad isn't it to see a Royal Family end its rule in ashes. But who can say what 'karmic pattern' was drawn for each of them. They had no choice but to walk the royal path. The Queen (as respect should still be due) played her royal roles as befits her position, whatever her subjects may think of her. She stood beside her King, through life and death. How many of us can do that? Some of us may think we are too smart for our husbands. And some of our husbands may think they are too smart for their wives. The subjects may choose to walk out of a relationship. But the Queen has no such choice. In fact the Royal Family has no choices at all. Once a decision is made, they stick to it, right or wrong. They bear a very heavy burden...the well being of their subjects. How heavy is your burden? Your burden is as big as your family. But the Royal Family bears the burden of an entire nation. It is said that only when you walk a mile in another man's shoe, will you find out where it pinches. God bless the King! God bless the Queen! God bless their children! For no one knows our destiny. God bless you all.
