Empress. Em-press, impress. This gal is all dressed up and no where to go. Perched on her throne see goes about doing empressy things. To rule a nation, a empire, a world takes all the motherly out of a gal. This Empress may have children, in fact it would be right at the top of her Empress's duties to bear children, but from there they are raised apart, with only a daily viewing. Queen Victoria was an Empress with nine children and really had nothing to do with them other than photo ops and arrange marriages. I watch and read some of the stories of royalty and think, 'who would want that kind of life?' Sure there is money, clothes, riches, travel, but it is all for show. A constrained life. Still, someone has to do it and "mother" her domain. For me my little corner of world is quite enough.

She ought to take that ball under her foot and go bowling. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the really weird things about the rich, have kids, abandon them more surely than dead beat dads do.
