OPINION — It’s been a rocky road for Britain’s House of Windsor of late. Ever since the end of World War II, it has wobbled dangerously close to the cliff’s edge of abolition, only to catch a breather and soldier on.
Currently, it’s the alleged antics (illegal and unamusing) of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the royal formerly known as Prince Andrew, that are putting the monarchy back on the endangered species list.
Given that March is Women’s History Month, the current scandal provides the perfect opportunity to revisit the tale of how one woman single-handedly kept the royal family on the throne. That woman just happened to wear a diamond tiara.
